Some time later.. and Linda-who-love-pigs and husband Nick who-is-not-a-rustler and sister Sammy-who-doesn't-drink-red-wine found themselves down their Local. The naming of piglets had been on everyone's minds for the past week: The Big Boss thought that, since they'd arrived in the world concurrent with the latest batch of marmalade, they should be named after types of marmalade.
How many types of marmalade can you think of?
Quite.
There are, however, 7 piglets requiring suitable monikers.
So, Linda (being Delila's 'Person') was consulted.
Somewhat unsurprisingly her mind turned to football - again....
Naming piglets was not proving very easy.
Somewhere into the 2nd glass of red wine (which she doesn't drink - usually) Sammy perused - for whatever reason.....??? - the wine list.
"Here's the answer" she mused.... "All these drinks ... possibly ideal?"
Next thing we know, Linda has sent through an e:mail.... relates the circumstances and adds...
"So, how about J.D. (Jack Daniels for the boy - there is only one) and, for the 6 girls, Sherry, Malibu, Whiskey, Bailey, Bacardi and Brandy."
Sheer Genius.......
So there we have it, 7 Little Tots - to go with the 7 Little Chefs....
And this afternoon they've been telling Dad all about it....
Ah, yes.
That's another story:
Samson's tunnel under the dividing gate has proved to be another touch of genius. The wee tots have been scampering to and fro between Mum and Dad .... shows how dumb we are: we thought Samson was digging the tunnel to get through to Delila - but no, it was so his first offspring could get through to him...... and don't they just love him.... and if Delila gets anxious she just gives a low grunt and they all go scampering back under the gate......
Perfect!
Oh to be a piglet........
