Beautiful Day

Days like these make you want to jump in the river and join the kids swimming and splashing about. It has been magnificent. The beach still ahs a little cool chic breeze to keep you on your toes, but sitting int he rear garden today having a cup of tea was bliss!
On Saturday, went to visit my new pork suppliers, Mt Gnomon Farm, just at the base of the dial ranges. they breed Wessex Saddleback Pigs, and they are free to roam about the farm where they wish, within reason! They are lovely animals, and quite curios. I still have a truffling snouty mark on my jeans where are rather large male pig came to check out my shins.
I also got to hold a piglett- and man do they squeal! But soooo cute. But they are farmed of course for consumption, so I resisted the temptation to get too palsy with any of them. SUffice to say they provide the most lovely pork meat, and they are wel cared for. So look our for them on our new Summer menu. I do have a picture somewhere of me and the piglett- will load when I download them.
Until we see you next- take care!
