Sat relaxing with a cuppa last night all was well in my world until a strange grunting from underneath the front window sent the Berners into Dr Who mode, ie. hiding behind the sofa until the monsters have gone. Monsters turned out to be marauding Mangalitzas Pam the Pig and Bridget the Fidget. They were following their snouts and the wrong side of the wire. Anticipating an attempt to spring the piglets out of the slammer the high security doors were shut earlier in the day. I had hoped for a more imaginative escape attempt, you know, wooden vaulting horse, tunnel type, but 500kg of mobile pork battering ram lacked a certain finesse.
In fact Pammy and Bridget had no intention of breaking out their offspring, they were enjoying their freedom far too much. They dutifully followed the feed bucket down the lane and back into the big pen, which is where we discovered their escape route, an open gate. Not sure how that happened, probably yours truly not paying attention, I was just glad the Mangalitzas hadn't jumped the fence.
One reason, or rather two reasons why they are keen for time out from the pig pen is that Iggle and Piggle the OSB's are helping themselves to free milk!
