Default Saturday afternoon visitor

Our neighbour, Mr Stutter, has a pig. Not in the cottage right next door, but in his allottment further up the hill.

Said pig is in an enclosure, but only the sort of enclosure that a Canarian could build. Needless to say, pig got out today, and came to visit!

I was sitting at the kitchen table with the door open, when a black head appeared. I thought it was a dog at first, and got up to see. Got to the door and stopped short ... ruddy great pig!!!!!!!!!! In our garden

After the initial formalities, introductions, hand sniffing, etc, pig decided I was a friend, and followed me back up the hill to its little house. Ignored Perikles completely!

Expecting another visit tomorrow now.

Wonder what pigs eat .....

Hope it's not lizards ...

Was just thinking, if it comes back I'll try to take a photo. If there's one of a pig in Torrenter's new photo competition, you'll know where it came from!

Gets more like the Good Life every day here!

I take that as a compliment:

'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober,
I was carting home a load with manly pride,
When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
"You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,"
Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.
