I have plenty more small trees so no worries for the damson gin supplies. It has been the crop of the centuary, over a hundred pounds ]]>Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:12:40 GMThttps://www.maggiescaravan.com/life-on-the-farm/piglets-in-the-gardenMostly it’s just neighbour Philips chickens in my garden, but this morning I discovered nine little piglets unearthing worms from my lawn. Delightful though they are, they do a surprising amount of damage in a very short time. At least the hens leave me the occasional egg!

Don’t worry, Philip was quick to come to the rescue and they were rounded up before the entire lawn disappeared. The caravan lawn was untouched and the piglets have gone all the way home!
