Delila Delivers!

"No sign of Delila" said The Boss yesterday as I was getting the horses in from the field at tea time. "Perhaps she's had her piglets" I called back, jokingly - after all, we'd had the discussion only yesterday that it could be up to a week away judging from the look of her!

So, when the horses were in their stables I went back to look and, sure enough, there was a little piglet wriggling around in the entrance to the ark! By the time I'd clambered over the fence to get a closer look, all 6 - 2 red and 4 blonde - were attached to Delila and suckling for all they were worth....... one or two of them had their eyes firmly closed and didn't look as though they'd been out in the world for very long........ aaaahhhhhh. This photo was taken at breakfast this morning, which makes the little ones less than a day old........

It's all very worrying though...... The Boss accurately predicted the farrowing date for Precious and had also entered in the diary that Delila was due on the 29th, which was pretty darned close. It's almost as if he knows what's going on......
