It's been a bit of a week weatherwise: pea soup fog, rain, driving snow, ice: impossible paths and impassable roads: cars going off-road all over the show and tractors towing stranded lorries up the hill. Unexpectedly, Friday dawned just a little damp and turned into a glorious sunny day - for a few hours.
Which was just as well as some of our piggies were off on another adventure. And where they were going would have been totally impossible had the snow or ice continued. The four that came back a little while ago from the Butterfly Park have been quarantined since t
hen in the Old Stalls and were missing the adulation of their public - not to mention the fresh air. Ever mindful of the needs of his growing herd, therefore, the Big Boss arranged a sort of extended Christmas Holiday for them. So they've gone over the hill and down into a nearby valley, which is very lovely, and are housed in a delightful, traditional crew yard.

They must have had an inkling 'cos they walked straight into their limousine at this end and out at the other - and then proceeded to dash madly around their new home inspecting all the nooks and crannies ... of which there are many! They were truly impressed. And will be more so when they realise that the accommodation comes complete with family and doting children... They will love that!
(And since we can never move one set of pigs without re-arranging a few of the others, Samson has moved in with Scratchy and Delila - more of which another day...)
