• Charlotte makes a run for it – ungrateful pig.

  So yesterday on my rounds I took the piggies out into pats paddock to have a munch on the grass. They love good long grass and there was a little out there. Then with no warning, Charlotte, aka Miss Naughty, went for a walk outside the fences.  I had opened the gate to fix the…

• It was not the 6th…
