Hello you Two!

I really can't wait for Fiona & the little oinks, The photo's of Fiona & Boris are the best - they look totally in love  :D  I saw some photo's of some wee little Tamworth's & they are so cute

The little mangalitsa is going to be called 'O Cho'  It's a long story, but my OH wants to call every animal we get after Herbie (the movie) it's what the little boy calls the car! this time I've given in!! Poor girl  :pig:
I Love mornings - I just wish they came later in the day!

These are my new girls! They are very cuddly and love to follow me around when I am in the pen. They follow my two year old around and she loves to give them a good scratching behind the ears. The only odd thing is they won't eat any of the apples or veggies that I put in with their feed. hmmmm.....   Teir names are LadyBug(on the left) and ChocChip(on the right).

I like O Cho too.

Love Ladybug and Chocchip - maybe they're not used to getting treats. I'm sure they will though. The horse in the field across the road didn't know what to do with a bit of apple first time I offered it - but he does now!
