Oh Red, I'm SO jealous!!!
I'd love to get our bottom garden all fixed up... it's currently filled to the brim with fallen trees & branches that are waiting 'to be dealt with' and then needs securing, and the outbuildings need fixing, the proposed piggery needs a few repairs.... will take us forever, so I think we won't be getting pigs in for quite a while
Oh, let us know how they're getting on - like I said, I'm SO jealous!!

it has taken us a couple of years to get to this point, we had to take down a couple of derelict sheds, smack up lotsof concrete , move lots of logs and debris and fence the entire area - but we got there in the end - the trick was we booked the pigs... then we had to get it done in time!

Red - Excellent to see you have pigs

Berkshires too! I bet you are really enjoying having them about the place. I miss mine
