Over the Hills and Far Away.

Duchesse and Blossom enjoyed the chicken run for at least four hours. They chased the chickens, uprooted the Buddlia and "pigged out" on chicken food.
Back to the stable they went and a temporary playpen of stakes and stockproof fencing was built.
Come the evening, just as the last of my supper guests were walking in the gate someone said in a vaguely perplexed manner, "there's a pig walking up your lawn!"
Greater friendship there is not than sitting on the composter to prevent it's uprooting by an energetic Blossom. Thank you Sally! Back to the secure stable they went.
Next morning using the croquet hoops in a manner clearly unlike the manner for which they were invented, the stockproof fencing was securely fastened down. Again!
Oh how those little pigs laughed. In less than two hours they had worked out how to hitch it up with their adorable little snouts and were busily trotting down the lawn again.
Their tenacity is surely matched only by the prisoner in The Shawshank Redemption.
Back to the stable they go. Tomorrow we will think again.
Watch this space.
