First thing's first - congratulations Malc! My pal on the Edge of Nowhere has two sows who have produced their first two litters - he has the UK's most northerly herd of Saddlebacks now! Well done Malc & Sal (& Molly & Kim of course!)
After much coaxing from a particular friend of mine (mentioning no names Claire) I've come out of self-induced blogging retirement & have decided to keep you updated with my daily antics. Antics is probably too strong a word actually - that makes it sound like I lead a life of real excitement!
I'm about to go to work in the kennels now, but I shall sit down later & let you know what I've been up to to bring you all up to speed. I hope you wont get too bored....
Speak in a bit.

About Me
- Virgin Porker
- I moved from London to the north east of England 3 years ago. I was a total 'townie' until I moved and didn't know the first thing about the countryside! I thought that straw and hay were the same thing - for those non-townies out there, you'll know that that's bad... Anyway, having avidly watched and read everything that Hugh Fearnley-Whittinstall has done, I've become a lot more interested in where our food comes from and how it's produced. To that end, I'm now a lot more conscious of what I put in my mouth and totally appreciate that animals must have as happy a life as possible, not only for them to taste good, but also so that they enjoy their relatively short time on this earth. Hugh reckons that pigs are pretty easy to keep and so I thought I'd give it a go. As it turned out, yes they were really easy to keep but having to say goodbye I found very traumatic. This blog is now just tales of what I get up to in my day to day life!
