St Patrick's Day Adventure

Precious's Little Gems continue to explore the boundaries of their 'world'.

Fine weather is clearly going to their heads and giving them courage....

Whilst most of the civilised world was watching events unfold at The Cheltenham Festival, they decided that a little bit of a trot around on the turf was probably good for piglets too.... so, through the fence they squeezed and trotted all over the place saying 'Who are you?' to all the other pigs.

Then they got really bold and trotted off in the direction of the Rectory Field to enquire which of the major races Ritz, Max and Rocco were going to be running in during the week..... but Ritz was having none of their impertinence and soon shooed them under the gate and back to the Church Field. Where they pretended to get a little confused and gaily gallloped about in all directions.

Luckily Gunner was on hand and quickly adopted the role of Guardian of the Piglets (who, though they'd never admit it, were really just a teensy bit lost and worried), eventually nudging them home to Mum - who was not in the least perturbed by her offsprings' adventures.....

If truth were told, she was probably relieved to be rid of them for a little while.

Nonetheless, when they did eventually find their way back home again - under the fence - she didn't waste too much time ushering them back into the safety of the ark --- and then stood guard outside the doorway to discourage any more bold behaviour..... It's a relief they grow quickly cos soon they'll be too big to squeeze under and through things.....

Anyway, The Festival finishes on Saturday so the Turf will lose its attraction and Other Adventures will no doubt beckon.

Oh to be a piglet in spring.....
