Hi :wave:
My dad was on the phone telling me about your piglets as there was an atricle in the P&J and he posted it to me and arrived today. Amazing looking pigs ;D

Thanks deep  :wave: what is the p&j ppd??  I am getting some criticism though, my quote about them not being micro pigs was put down wrongly and it sounds as if I am saying they are not like micro pigs which can live in the house. I feel quite embarrassed about that but there is not alot I can do about it,  Actually knowing how these papers work, i am pleastently surprised that they only said one wrong thing along those lines :relief:.

P&J is the Press & Journal Linda, local Aberdeenshire paper.

I knew they'd picked you up wrong  ;)
We had a story in our local paper and there were a couple of mis-quotes - you know what journalists are like  ::) :roflanim: :-J :-*

god don't I just, a bad bunch always getting things wrong :roflanim: I was so worried karen that they didn't portray them as the next new must have,  that I think  I went overboard with how there were only suitable for living on the land, so much he put that quote down :innocent:
