Our friend is a keen photographer, and took some photos this weekend when we put the pigs back outside. We feel they have been a little bored and depressed so have risked putting them out. If the weather changes we will have to take them back in, but it is worth it just to see the happy.

Inside, Gigi saying helo to Mike, he is 6 foot and she is standing on the edge of her pen, so you can see how long she is.

My goodness, those are BIG pigs! They must be really enjoying being outside again; hope it stays mild enough so they can stay.

I adore pigs!!! OH tells stories of when he was small and his Dad used to have a smallholding and him and his brother riding these massive pigs around.

Farthing your two are just lovely. That first picture of Gigi is just precious!

Hope the weather holds out for them!
I notice the outdoor pigs are all about in their fields here, with just tin arcs (or is it arks?) for shelter.

They will be so much more relaxed now that they are out. Hope we don't get it too cold again.

Well, we have taken the pigs back inside tonight, the weather forecast isn't too good for up here, and I know would end up worrying about them- I have been up at 4 in the morning to check on the sheep, when we had torrential rain and they had just been clipped, don't laugh, we have a lot of geriatric girls.:oops:
The pigs seemed to enjoy making a game out of it tonight. One would wander into the horsebox and eat a bit, as the other one wandered in, the first one would wander out. Mike stood in front of Scarlet, at one point and ended up sitting on her head and being carried outside.:lol:
Finally we got them both into the horsebox, and they are now safely tucked up inside, at least until the weekend.:D

I've always heard pigs are very intelligent; bet they had fun playing mind games with you ! "Let's not both be inside at the same time..."
