thankyou .... actually, I did nothing, Maud did it all by herself, and her sister helped clear up the mess afterwards (bleugh!!)
But don't tell anyone... I used the piggery midwifery excuse to get out of several invites to the pub etc - I just couldn't be bothered getting changed and clean, and didn't want to miss the little ones' first day!!  :D

Aw......gorgeous!! Is Maud mum to my two girls - can't remember!! 

Have you still got the pigs you were fattening?  If so, you will have a house full of pigs!!  Is the other sow in pig too?

No, Mildred (her sister) is your two's mum, but aren't they similar?!
How are your nameless porkers? 

we are still fattening the others, they are just too little to "send off" I'm thinking october, before the Christmas rush, when they'll be a year old.
  Mildred is "in pig" - once she's farrowed we'll decide who's for selling and who's for fattening...

not at all!
Our trio are Maud, Mildred and Murphy the boar - Have you ever read "The Worst Witch" by Jill Murphy?!  That's where I got them from.

The little spotty one pictured is "Liberace" or just Ace ("Archie") :D
