You have to laugh when upon leaving work and wandering to the car-park, you are almost mown down by a litter of escaped piglets!  Apparently this is quite a common occurrence at my new school - let's hope the herd of South Devon cattle are less adventurous!?

"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes".

A. A. Milne - Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet

DID YOU KNOW.....
  • Pigs are sprinters — and like to zig-zag around as opposed to running in a straight line.  A domestic pig can run at speeds of around 17 km/h, and wild pigs can run even faster. Even though they can weigh up to 91 kilograms each, a wild pig can run at speeds of around 50 km/h. 
  • The pig was one of the first animals to be domesticated over 6,000 years ago. The Chinese were the first to raise wild pigs for food.
  • The first book written about hog farming was in 3468 B.C. by Emperor Fo Hi, China.

"I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen".
