The Ides of March are just three weeks old and, in the manner of those before them, they are now planning The Great Adventure....... Since the weekend they have been exploring further and further away from their ark and this afternoon they were right across their pen snuffling in all the mud..... luckily the ferocious winds we've been experiencing over the last week have dried the ground out so they are able to get around without getting too grubby.
Which is lucky because the first step in their Adventure is to find a way out of their pen..... a big enough gap under the gate or maybe they'll
discover they're still small enough to walk straight through the fence..... then it'll be off up to Samson & Delila or round to visit Ginger & Mangal, or maybe down to the Playpen to see all the girls down there....... and anywhere else that catches their fancy.............
Andromeda, good mother though she is, will be relieved to have a little time to herself instead of having them climb all over her - literally. We will smile to see them trotting all over the estate - until, that is, they start making a mess with their 9x4 trotters!!!! And the Bestest Pigdog will have his paws full keeping an eye on them and making sure they don't wander beyond RectoryReserve boundaries. Ahhhh, business as usual then.....
