Hope you all have a very jolly time



with family and friends.



I hope Santa's reindeer remember where you live

 

and Santa



remembers what you wanted



and not what you didn't;




Hope you get to share lots of yummy food but don't make a pig of yourself,



I mean; a pig of yourself



Hope you have a few drinks, but not too many



Most of all we hope you get to have a lot of fun



with all your loved ones.

Even Turnip wanted to do dancing, but since he does dancing nearly every time he goes out for a ride he had to   ' make do' with dressing up in the tutu;



It was rather optimistic of the Mayans to predict an armageddon so far into their future I feel, since to the best of my knowledge the Mayan civilization died out rather a long time ago.
Anyhow I'm pleased along with you all that ...

and welcome  to some new recruits!
As I said in my last post most of the things I spoke about there are the same topics I planned to speak of here. Unfortunately a lot of them are from a very different angle.

By far the hardest thing I had to do this year was part with my dear friend Rog, to say I was heartbroken doesn't really cover it. He has been such a mate to me through thick and thin, well never thin for him! (He was on a constant battle of the bulge regime).
Dear old fat Rog, he loved th...

 We're also finally back with an internet connection courtesy of a flash new satellite dish and very expensive new satellite broadband connection. It's been ever such a long break from the blog spot,but I feel I should catch up my news even if it hasn't been such a good year it's definitely been far more successful than the year before, even if the weather w...

Okay guys you've not come forward with many pig homing offers, so we've  had to take another route as we really don't have a pig pen suitable for raising nine pigs.

Then we stunned the pig, eewwh!



Killed the pig;

(NOT PICTURED.)

Prepared the pig for cooking;


And cooked the pig;



Yummy Yummy!

Not really, not yet, but we are considering this as a course of action as it doe...

Okay so now I'm going to do a little bit of the catching up as promised..........
Firstly Le Haras du Pin, after several hundred phonecalls the dogsbody finally managed to discover that every tuesday  throughout February and March a young horse clear round showjumping day is held, from 4yo's in the morning to 6yo's in the afternoon. But noone checks the age or passport of your horse, so it basically means the jumps go from smaller to bigger. They informed us on entering that  the height of the...

Last week was busy in terms of very big decisions but I didn't do particularly much apart from deciding said decisions. I will come to talk about all this deciding but not now, that can wait for next week.

Yes we have pigs- lot of pigs, we went from two pigs to ten pigs in just a couple of hours.It all began on friday morning wi...
