A happy herd of canal pigs (8 April 2012)

Piggin’ hills…

On Sunday, I went for a rather hilly (to put it mildly) ride up (in every sense of the word) to Bridgwater, then made way to the canal docks for a much more leisurely ride home along the tow path …

Love pigs, hate spam! (23 August 2008)

Spam!

I’ve never knowingly eaten spam, so can’t comment on the real-life product, but when it comes to its online equivalent … Well, you know! I’ve tried various anti-spam filters for this blog, but none have really worked. Until now. I’ve …

Curly (9 August 2009)

P is for…

Pigs Oh, how I miss my four-trottered friends. The way they grunt and snuffle around your feet, their intelligence, friendliness, strongly defined characters, their curiosity… On the other hand, I don’t miss their determination to re-create every PoW escape from …

Curly, Pinky and their piglets (1 October 2009)

M is for …

Mud Growing up on a smallholding, mud was a fact of life. As a kid, it never bothered me. It doesn’t, does it? Who cares if you, your clothes and everything you touch is covered with mud. It (mostly) washes …

It's not just me who lacks any elegance in her life. Scrumpy-pig didn't have any either (13 June 2009)

E is for …

Scrumpy and Brini (23 April 2009)

Still no style … but trending

Human! Feed me! (8 August 2009)

It’s all about style

I have no style. As in, the blog has none. Well, very little. I borked the last theme beyond repair so I’m having another go at it, this time on a so-called ‘sandbox’ theme in an attempt to inspire myself …

A very pregnant Pinky enjoys her mud wallow (18 August 2009)

A change is as good as a rest?

My new-but-temporary headshrinker commented earlier today that I tend to veer towards compulsive behaviour. I’m sure I don’t know what he means and the *only* reason I plan to go through the painfully slow upheaval of moving the blog back …

Bailey had great teeth! (21 September 2009)

Stupid toothing teeth

Today, I have urgled on my sofa, pulled myself together and cycled to our monthly Stitch and Bitch group – the first I’ve made it to for ages – where I turned an old t-shirt into a potato storage bag …
