The much travelled Bubbles, Duchess, Curly and Philip returned home yesterday from their holiday home at the farm over the hill. For some reason we thought they might be awkward to load into the trailer to bring home. So we bribed an extra pair of stockhands with promises of a sausage and pork pie lunch. Needless to say, the not so little chaps (pigs not stockhands!) decided to be all sweetness and light and trotted out of the crewyard and into the trailer in a matter of minutes.......
