Why do piglets, who are supposed to be enjoying the tranquil slow life in the open air, tear the hell out of each other? This happens because they have only just met and when two families of piglets are introduced to each other for the first time they have to establish their pecking order. So they spend the first few minutes scrapping violently until they know who’s boss and only then can they relax and enjoy the Slow Life.

Granada TV were at Grange Primary School today and our youngest daughter Sara gave her first (very brief) TV interview wearing wellies. The school was being filmed rehearsing for a world record breaking attempt for the most people doing the conga in wellies, raising money for a charity in the congo – www.healafrica.org
3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days ago George the boar had a lucky weekend. 5 of his favourite sows came on heat at the same time. The result: 58 piglets born in 48 hours. George is a cross between a Gloucester Old Spot and a Saddleback. The sows are Middle White, Saddleback (3) and Tamworth. The result is a united nations of colours, from pure white to pure black and every colour in between including, most enchantingly, red with black spots. Keep up the good work George.
