Little Lily pig went to the Show

.. But Precious and Buster said "Definitely NO!".

So that was that then, wasn't it?

If a pig don't want to go, a pig don't want to go. And after trying for 30minutes to persuade them into the limousine - to no avail - we just took Lily. And what a great day she had. Centre of Attention - not a bad thing for any little miss piggy - quite wore her out. People calling her 'Woolly pig', 'Hairy pig', 'sheep-like pig' and many others just saying "Ohhhhh a curly coat - haven't seen one of them in years!" She proved a great ambassador for the cause and provoked a great deal of interest. She had 4, of a litter of 13, 10 week old Berkshire piglets alongside for company - not that she paid them a great deal of attention, but they were very popular with the visitors. The Lincoln Reds and Shire Horses didn't make her stir more than a whisker either and as for the Lancaster (0ne of only two in the world still flying) and the Spitfire - well, they literally went over the top of her head!

When we got back home and she told Precious and Buster what they'd missed they were totally unimpressed - well, they would be wouldn't they.... particularly as they'd missed breakfast through their stubborn behaviour.....

Lily left them to their tea and went and collapsed in a heap outside the ark, bent on recovering from her extremely arduous day...........
