It's all just a tad quieter out in the Church Field pens - two of Delila's Delinquents - aka the Little Stars - have gone to school! Lyra and Hydra left here for St Lawrence's, Horncastle, last Friday and it's surprising what a difference in herd dynamics and noise the absence of two from the 10 makes!
The school has an excellent reputation locally for its work with 'special needs' children and Lyra and Hydra join a large menagerie of diverse small animals - from tortoises and hamsters to pigs and ponies. From now on they'll be hard at work, helping to teach the children about the fundamentals of life - caring, sharing, nurturing, feeding, playing and so forth. Never a dull (or quiet)moment!
In return they are housed in accommodation which is nothing if not salubrious - brick sleeping and abluting facilities and a pen full of The Important Things. That nice lady in the background will be responsible for their overall care and welfare but I suspect these are going to be two very cossetted little porkers!
