Time flies

Tucking into breakfast.....
One month on and Victoria's piglets are well grown and becoming bolder by the day.....
Victoria's a very good mum and 'does' them well. We had a big thunderstorm the day before yesterday whilst the piglets were 'away' from home. At the first crack of lightening she gave a couple of loud grunts and within moments 6 sets of trotters were carrying their charges home in double time..... almost flying...
Like  all piglets before them, they are full of energy and daring - go round any corner and you're almost bound to bump into them exploring yet another corner of the estate. Just every now and then, though, they run home to safety & security with mum to relax ... and snooze in the shade.
A string of sausages?

Won't be many weeks now before they are weaned.
