• Charlotte begins her Slow Recovery. Because I said so.

  Yesterday, I called the vet to talk about The Shush Sister Charlotte, who is still walking very wonkily.  And not often. She lists to the side like a sinking container ship.  But the vet was out for the day and would not be back until Monday.  No-one could help me there. Hmm.  I called the…

• Charlotte the Pig is Feeling Poorly

  She has started limping quite badly. And a fat pig limping is a very sorry sight.  It is  one of her back legs below that rather large ham of a butt-hock. Sorry Char had to say it. I have called around and on occasion a pig will pull a muscle when they are young and…

• A gypsy summer day with three new teensy weensy arrivals

  First this most magnificent day in chronological order because that is the way we do things. It was like a sumptious spring day yesterday. All cushiony and warm and loud with birdsong. A scanty bright sunrise over the swimming pool.  Fat sheep!! A growth spurt in the fields and gardens.  The bees were out in…
