Yup, there should be only pigs!

Because Nigel has had some problems with his own pictures being stolen and sold on ebay (amazing, but true) as someone elses work we put in place protection so that if the pictures were "borrowed" from non-authorised places it was replaced with a picture of the delightful anne, like this:



It shouldn't do it here, as here is authorised!

What can you see below?



If you still see Anne, can you force a refresh of your browser. If you still see Anne, can you PM me and we can try and work out why!

Pictures of Nick's pigs and your possible future lunches, just think crispy bacon, pork chops and sausages.


I also thought you were being very naughty on April Fool's day!

No, totally innocent. Though in this case it is oddly appropriate.

Hi Gilly C,
The dead weight is around 42 kilos - that's 92.4 lbs of pork.
Thanks,
Nick

Would love to - but I think the postage to Shetland would be exorbitant!

I was thinking the same about Sweden. And not sure if it would survive Svensk Postens x-rays Wink

I just see Anne pics - but our local farm has oxford sandy & black pigs - www.warkfarm.co.uk - and jolly tasty they are too.

A lovely friendly breed - I took some pics on a recent farm walk - you can see some on my flickr OSB Pigs
