Kune Kune - Gloucester Cross5968 viewsDon't ask me how, but somehow Chase's kune kune pigs mated with our Gloucester Old Spot boar, and this piggy is the result. When I tried to take her photo she kept trying to hide behind the water trough. I guess I can't blame her for not wanting to have her photo snapped.May 26, 2005

Kevin, Marjorie & Andy as Midwives2228 viewsOur Berkshire sow is giving birth to her litter of piglets. It's a glorious early summer afternoon, and Marjorie, Kevin and Andy are acting as the midwives.May 26, 2005

The Three Alpacas755 viewsOur three alpacas are getting on in years --- they are circa 13 or 14 years old. These three gentlemen were born at Lucies Farm. They remind me of three old bachelors, playing cards and smoking cigars.May 26, 2005

Fairoaks Mermaid and Marjorie4095 viewsFairoaks Mermaid has just given birth to ten piglets. I took this photograph from the door of her pig ark. Marjorie is looking in the little hatch, and from Marjorie's viewpoint you can see the piglets. Mother was calm and considerate throughout. For those who think pigs are dirty, look at how she gleams, and look at how clean she keeps her home.May 26, 2005

Berkshire Piglets18063 viewsWe bought Fairoaks Mermaid 4 as a pedigree Berkshire sow in gilt. The sellers, the Bignells, told us her possible farrowing date was May 26. On the appointed date, along came the piglets. This photograph was taken just after they were born.May 26, 2005

Just Part of the Four Acre Field883 viewsIn this section of the field, we have Betty, our Gloucester Cow, three Aberdeen Angus females (a mother and her two daughters), and our Aberdeen Angus bull. Just another sunny day in Worcestershire.May 26, 2005

Aberdeen Angus Bull & Gloucester Cow1114 viewsOur Aberdeen Angus bull, Rull Balletcruz B012, enjoys a summer meal with Betty, our Gloucester cow. The story of Gloucester cows is quite interesting: in 1972 there were only 68 Gloucester cattle in the world. Please visit the Gloucester Cattle Society website. Note the roof thatcher in the background.May 26, 2005

The Postman's Nightmare1758 viewsThis is a cropped shot of another photo on this website. Tapa is growling at water coming from the garden hose. He really loves it. I've never really seen inside his mouth before (and it needed a 1/1500 shutter speed to do so). Wow, those are big teeth!May 25, 2005

Tapa and The Garden Hose1377 viewsTapa has a real love/hate relationship with the spray from the garden hose. He wants to bite and kill it --- but when we shut it off, he wants it back. He looks so ferocious here: like a poster dog for the Dangerous Dogs Act. You should see how brave he is with pigeons in the garden --- not.May 25, 2005

Flying Tapa1355 viewsTapa is in mid-air as he jumps up to get ready for the garden nozzle.May 25, 2005

Big Hands in the Marriott854 viewsI took a photography course, run at the Marriott Airport Hotel in Manchester. Bless Marjorie --- she drove me up, and read magazines and newspapers while I attended the two-day course. I took this photo with my wide-angle lens while we were waiting for the Eurovision Song Contest.May 25, 2005
