Piglets growing fast

The piglets have got through that vulnerable stage where they are either suckling or huddled together in a shivering ball.

Now they are inquisitive, mobile and playful.

I often spend time just watching them and being with them. They do that thing that pigs do when they all play statues for a few seconds and then continue as if nothing had happened. Then there's the little bursts of energy, a sudden skip of the heels and twizzling round in circles. Games of piggyback too, and chasing.
Potatoes are fun to nuzzle around, but too big to nibble yet. And look! I can snout around in the straw just like mum.

I'll shut up and just let you oooooh and aaaaah at the pictures!
