The new residents of the Sty!
So now the building is all washed out and clean, time for new residents, and here they are!! very cute I think!!.
We went down to meet Farmer Chris, as he is known to his visitors, at Hesketh Farm Park, Bolton Abbey and we came home with these four. They are by a Pietrain Boar called Arnold, but I didnt ask their mothers name so can't tell you that one.
They really are very funny to watch, quite characters, and only 9 weeks old. They spent the first 15 mins just investigating the shed and then they discovered the big pile of straw I had put in for their bed and they had a great root about in there, chattering away to each other all the time. However if you sneak up on then they just immediately stop talking and stand perfectly still like a game of musical statues. One I have discovered just loves having its back scratched so I may not get any work done now!!!
