Hi Annie,
Yes, considering it's a ww local show and we're just starting up their not too bad.
20 pigs entered plus a sow with a litter and one of my KK piglets (12 weeks) will be making an appearance too  :love:
Looking forward to it - fun and laughter guarenteed cos my pigs don't like doing what they're supposed to  ::) It's not so much a case of walking the pig round the ring as trying to keep up with it  :o ;)

Lesmahagow here we go....

Less....ma....hay....go (or 'The Gow' for short  ;))

Don't feel bad if you can't say it - I know folk who can't say it and they live here  :o ::) ;D

While we're on the subject of funny pronounciation, what about Kilncadzow - prounounced Kill.....craig..(like the boys' name)...y...    We're nearly as bad as the Welsh  :D ;D :D ;D :D (No badness meant folks - just joking  :-* :wave:)

I echo everything Mandy says (yes including the first bit  ;) - and there we were all saying, "No, this site's not just for the Scots, you never feel than, never,"  ;) :D)

Can't make it up there myself, got sheep work to do if fine and paperwork if not  :(  All the very best to you all and hope all the piggy stuff works really well.

Best,
Sally
