Tima has taken to her new boyfriend like a duck to water. And poor old Tane is the water.
She just rolls all over him. This shot is for Heathers girlchild daughter. Heather has a blog that sometimes has turtles on it from her zoo and alot of humour. Her daughter loves Tima. I would like a turtle too but I hear they are hard to train to do tricks! So I am sticking with pigs. Humorous ones.
Anyway, Tima is still learning to share her pears with Tane, but they graze beautifully together. When Sheila and Poppy graze they are completely silent. but when the kunekune graze they talk all the time. Not like a chicken calling chicks or a lamb waa waa-ing. More like a low mobile grunt .. a Herr cherr ,Hherr cherr.. high. low. high. low. It is the sweetest sound.
was out colleccting photos of them yesterday when Jake and his friend turned up to see if I needed help with anything. Well, YES I did. So the camera was put down and we planted more trees and drenched the sheep and cleaned the eyes of the little kittens and organised the Loft chicks into their new warmer home then spent some time in the kitchen and made plans for a big Friday dinner.
Sometime days go like that. Some days are deeply quiet and other days are just busy, busy, busy.
I hope you have a lovely day.

PS T shirt updates. Last night when I checked the nummbers we had sold 31 T shirts. Only 19 more to reach our goal of 50 and then they will be printed and dispatched. You are all MIGHTY! Thank you. And no I am not going to spend the money on cakes for sheila. Vegetables and fruit only. With alfalfa and eggs and milk from home.
We also have a good number of calendars ordered which is wonderful. Thank you again. I will place the first order for the calendars tonight. So go to 2015 calendars along the menu bar (above) and register if you want one, I will wait for you.

I am so looking forward to seeing their piglets. If they’re at all as vocal as Tima and Tane, you’ll have to wear ear plugs around them. 🙂
Isn’t it wonderful that Tane and Tima have their own lingo? I guess we all do to some extent. I hope you all fared well with the declining temperatures in the last 24 hours… tomorrow will be even colder. BRR!!!
it is dropping so fast, i am afraid of a nose bleed.. c
I just placed my tshirt order… 38 sold now, so I’ll have a new sleeping tshirt and because I’d love to see the print run go ahead. But if it doesn’t I’ll Paypal the equivalent direct to your Paypal account as a Christmas gift to Sheila. BTW, I’m not sure if anyone else experienced the same but I couldn’t get the Teespring Paypal link to work, so I paid by credit card.
Hmm, they have such a good reptutation but there are glitches.. hopefully it all works out and we get our T shirts! Such a worry. Thank you though for ordering yours, we are almost there! c
They sound so companionable and sweet.
I’m excited for the t-shirts and calendars! Do you think they’ll be ready before Christmas? They’ll make great stocking stuffers!
I am really hoping we can have them in the post by the beginning of december.. fingers crossed! c

Fun reading about Tima and Tane, so glad they are getting along so well. What a blessing Jake is.
