Snowy Sunset over Eco Manor

(Warm and) Happy New Year

And with mere minutes to spare, Eco and I get the heating on....as promised to Mrs E. We did say we would get some in this year. The living, breathing Ironheart is in and operating.

Back in Harness

Another few days of indentured labour back in Wales and although it's colder this trip, it's not as wet! As usual I need to post some piggy pictures from the ranch for my friend Pod, who's very partial to her piggie updates.

No longer piglings....these girls are now fully-fledged porkers of epic proportions

 These girls have shown me a whole new meaning to the term 'heavy troughing'

 Left to right: Pork, Ratty, HM and Pod

We needed to move the pig house to give them a little more shelter...this involved the first test drive of my new wellies and my first 'out of welly' experience! As Eco says, I'm not fully initiated until I need to stand one one leg and pull a stuck welly out of the mire.

The pig pen is now far bigger now they need more room to manouever.

Piggies....love 'em!
