Title: some one turn off tap
Post by: shalwar kameez online on February 17, 2011, 06:39:39 pm

Its raining, the gentle bubbling stream of yesterday has become the terror flood throwing itself across the fields creeping towards the arcs with deadly insistence.  The pigs are in their element, digging in the ooze.  My wellingtons will never ever recover.  Does anyone know where to apply to have the tap turned off for a few days?

Not sure where you are but we have certainly had some horrid weather, all we need now is floods in spring and a drought in summer, then we can say we have had the lot..........Pigs do love mud but there comes a time when you find yourself sinking and thats bad. I wonder if anyone who keeps pigs has ever drowned in mud??? ::)

I knew a pair of smallholders (no longer livestock owners) who had several pigs drown in mud.
