Although Lily is still giving Mangal the run-around, which must be raising his fitness level, she at least now deigns to - occasionally - lay down alongside him! So perhaps when the right time comes she will allow him to do the necessary and we can look forward to offspring in around 4 months time. Meanwhile, Precious is looking extremely doubtful. She's at most two weeks away from the last possible due date and doesn't look in the least bit pregnant! Mind you that's what we said about Ginger first time round and she managed to surprise us. So, what do we know???
Precious did manage to surprise us in a different way yesterday; talking to someone on the drive, they suddenly remarked:
"Oh, look at that! I've never seen one of those before!"
Naturally, we looked round to see what he was referring to, and saw Precious nonchalently sauntering up the drive!
She was as surprised to be there as we were to see her there.... and very obligingly turned round and allowed herself to be led back to her pen in the woods - where we discovered she'd managed to open the gate. Presumably she'd heard voices and decided to investigate!!!
Although the long expected births have not yet materialised, an almost equally long expected event has occurred: our new website was 'born' and first saw the light of day at the beginning of this week. www.rectoryreserve.co.uk will keep the world at large up-do-date with our Curly Coats. It is also one of our chief vehicles for advertising pigs and products in the market-place. We think it's beautiful - but we would, wouldn't we!?
