Visiting the pigs

[bunn]

Someone in our village bought a house with a garden that had been untouched for many years.  To clear it, they are using the 'apply pigs and stand back' method. The pigs like visitors and come gallumphing over to see who is passing.

When the piglets were small and wary and ran about intriguingly in the undergrowth, Rosie was very fascinated with them, but now they are a bit bigger,  she is more cautious.  Brythen, however, would like to be their friend.

Hmm, more things...
Greek economy -> APPLY PIGS, no perhaps not.
Itchy bottom -> APPLY PIGS, almost certainly not
Windows 8 -> APPLY PIGS - interesting...

Brythen generally likes everyone regardless of species, (unless Rosie is leading him astray.)

A herd of Highland Cattle is unleashed every summer on some National Trust downland near here. According to the write-up, they "fearlessly bash and clear" scrub and undergrowth, even stuff that's so dense that it brings fear into the hearts of the mightiest of machines.

So if Windows 8 proves too much for the piggies, maybe the Hielan' Coos can cope with it?

Hielan' Coos can cope with ANYTHING!

We used to have those on Kit Hill for similar reasons, but they seem to have stopped using the Coos now and instead a motly crew of very-assorted cattle is employed, from an ancient Jersey with a crumpled horn, to a monstrous Hereford lady, to a rather baffled-looking Friesian, to a couple of Devon Rubies...

I don' know who they belong to, but I like to imagine whoever it is going to cattlemarkets as a hobby and going 'Ooh! Ooh! We haven't got one of THOSE yet!!!'
