New arrivals

Yesterday we popped up to Crieff to pick up this year's weaners - 3 8-week old Tamworth boars. Everything went very smoothly, they have settled in very quickly and found their ark within an hour of arrival. (They like the ark so much they stayed in it until nearly midday today!)

We introduced the dogs to them and then left them to their own devices. Tess will be obsessed with them for a month or two, Meg is indifferent.

We made a little video of the day for your enjoyment.

how delightful that you've added video! I hadn't checked your diary in quite a while, thanks for sharing your experiences. in an earlier vid, you've got potatoes in a pot, have you done them in tires? because I am downtown Toronto (Canada), thinking that this might be a way to deal with available - limited - space!

Oh, no - names are the way to ruin! Tess's op has given her a new lease of life! She just loves them.

Makes me wish I had a little red pig with a little red ark.

Aw they are sooooo cute!

They seem to be very happy in their new home.
