SHEILA SHOCKED BY RUMOURS
… of her disappearance. Actually she is quite chuffed that you noticed that Miss C and Camera House don’t get down the back to photograph her often enough.
RICH
One of our greatest talents is the ability to articulate joy. We all have this talent – it is not rare thankfully. Though fleeting in some lives. But just because it is a common talent, recognising joy, does not mean that it is of… Continue Reading “RICH”
The Vet Bet
If I were a betting man, the vet said, putting his head to one side then to the other studying Lady Astors belly and crinkly udder – I would say she was not pregnant. She is wide enough, he said, but that udder should be… Continue Reading “The Vet Bet”
Untidy Mr Flowers

Sheila as a horse
I lay on Sheila (my old Hereford pig) as she walked the field in the sun yesterday. She was wandering through the pasture, grazing, but she is so tall, up to my hip that it was easy for me to just slide my body over hers… Continue Reading “Sheila as a horse”
Camera House changes hands
Do you want to know how tall Sheila my beautiful big fat pig is? Molly got to have Camera House yesterday afternoon. I am almost 5’8″, and Sheila comes up past my hip. That tall.
