Just-in-times taking their time

Delila's piglets may have arrived just at the right time but they have been taking their time getting out and about. Last week saw Linda marching determinedly up to the woods carrying the paraphenalia of "enticing piglets away from mum" - water container, food bowl and did I see wire cutters there somewhere? Oh, maybe not. But if they hadn't come out pretty soon after that an exit route might have had to have been manufactured. I was beginning to think that maybe they were altogether too dumpy to get out - or even want to..... They're still not getting bold in a hurry but each day sees them venture a little further afield... we have another three or four weeks in which to train them to run in the direction of the barn .... for ease of weaning. Progress reports will follow in due course....
