A Tale Of Country Folk

this little pig went that way
that little pig went this way
that little pig went this way
this little pig went that way
this little pig went this way
this little pig went that way
this little pig went this way
that little pig went this way
that little pig went this way
this little pig went that way
this little pig went that way
and the pheasant sat on the mat at the front door waiting to be fed.

Have you been to market because the cupboard was bare, and on the way did you meet a man selling pies who had seven wives perchance?

[albaqwerty]

please tell me I don't need to clean me specs or the monitor? :-)

I likes that LJ xx

[lady-janine]

no stewey not this time. i should have added that THIS way leads to our patio and THAT way leads to our veg garden.

[Graham-W]

Hope you didn't sell the pig for five magic beans. If you did, you shouldn't have taken them all at once.

[stewey]

In that case, I'm going to drive to Whitby; I'll see you when I return.

[lady-janine]

eleven little round fat pink bodies wondering all over the garden.

i forgot to add the two sheep walking up and down the flatish roof and the building we call the garage. it backs on to their field and they clamber up the wall.

[lady-janine]

off you go stewey. think i'll go to st ives and visit friends at leach.

[albaqwerty]

I watched a bit of River Cottage earlie, where they had ducks introduced to the veg patch, ostensibly to eat slugs.
As if that was going to work....

LJ, did you ever find out where the little piggies went?

[lady-janine]

they went back to mummy pig eventually. they must have enjoyed their outing as they are now on another wander round. 11 little round bottoms bobbing up and down. so funny.

[EcclesCake]

Alba.....I hope you watched that episode right through to the end of the credits......

[albaqwerty]

Eccles, last bit I saw was the ducks being handed over a fence to a pond and the comment about they'd better lay eggs before a nice recipe is thought of!

[lady-janine]

that's it. show's over. they are all running back home now.

[albaqwerty]

aww, how old do you think they are LJ?

[lady-janine]

i've no idea alba. i'm not very expert on piglets. they've not weaned yet but i don't know if that helps. i'm sure someone must be able to help.

btw, when i started this thread i think some people assumed i had been at the liffey water (or something like that). No! just sharing what i could see from the window.

[stewey]

This thread was becoming quaintly Enid Blytonish. We want pictures of this idyllic scene. Nothing much happened on the way to and from Whitby except that Little Boy Blue was blowing his horn in the car behind me; I assume he was upset because he had probably lost his sheep.

[lady-janine]

stewey - please tell us what you were on. little boy blue? you have to stop when the police signal to you.

[Psybbo]

Lady-J have a look at 'The Ideal Pet?' Just what you need!

[stewey]

Lady-janine, as of 2246, please give yourself "best answer".
