Primrose and Parsley....
..and our boars, Bob and Dave. We do have Brian, but I think he's got to go with his brothers in Feb for the chop as his ears aren't long enough  :'(

I love how most of the boars have such unpretentious names.  ;D. Give me a Bob or James any day over Achillies or Zeus. :wave:

I used to have a goldfish named Nostradamus - he was black with lots of wavy fins :D He sadly died when I topped up his tank with sparkling water...  :'(  (I was still a child, back then!)

Oops, I'm straying from the subject again, sorry!  :-[
