Right then, this could be a thread that runs, because I just met....

Robert and Llillian Waddell!

At the Yorkshire Show yesterday. What nice folk. Thanks for taking the time to chat, and well done for scooping so many prizes with just three pigs! 

Olly :wave:

We met Gavo and his GLW at the RWAS smallholder show this year.  :wave:

He said I was much more normal than he expected.  :D

Which was ironic because I thought he was a bit odd. Only kidding.  ;D

We all went for a meal in Builth Wells and a good time was had by all.

We met Hillhead earlier this year - to collect our 3 OSB x GOS gilts- and they are fab  ;D ;D The gilts have grown really well and are due to 'go' on Monday - my live weight estimates for them are between 90 and 100kg at 7.5 months  :wave: :wave:
