Well, mummy did come back very late last night, and she gave us fresh hay and water and food and extra carrots to see us through the night and some nice slices of cucumber.  She’d been all the way to the south of England to see her niece, husband and her brother and sister-in-law.  And they watched the Royal Wedding we’d been hearing about on the radio.

We had a terrible day today.  Mummy came downstairs early in a terrible rush, threw a carrot, two lettuce leaves and some bits of celery in each of our cages and ran out of the door just calling out ‘Bye Boys, be back this evening!”

Well, what sort of greeting is that?  Where’s the cuddle, the “Hello Georgie boy how are you this morning? Did you sleep well? Let’s have a cuddle.”  Followed by a nice clean cage, some fresh veg from the garden, neatly sliced carrot, celery and cucumber.  Where was our fresh water?  And what about the huge pile of hay and the hayrack stocked up as well? Continue reading “Abandoned with just a carrot” →

We were lulled into false hopes of long lazy days in the sunshine eating grass and chilling out under the sunshade in the last couple of weeks.  But this week we have been reminded that it’s only spring, and it’s been too cold to go out for long. Continue reading “It’s only spring” →

I know mummy often multi-tasks but usually in the morning she has a set routine and today she changed it a bit.

When she came down the first thing she did was look in her book and take things out of cupboards and weigh things and put them in the stirring machine in the cupboard.  I call it a stirring machine.  It makes something that smells nice and mummy eats, called bread.  But she wasnt making bread, because she does that using a jug not a weighing machine.  Continue reading “Mummy multi-tasks too!” →

I’m afraid I’m much too busy to spend time on-line at present, but I thought I’d better come and apologise to you.  Mummy has started putting us out in the garden again and the grass is growing very fast even though we don’t seem to be having any rain to help it along.  But it isn’t dry enough for us to walk on till about midday at the earliest even so, and often mummy goes out in the morning so we don’t get out till quite late in the afternoon.  That didn’t happen today though, we were out before lunchtime 🙂 Continue reading “Multi-tasking” →

Tomorrow is the night that everyone in the UK has to fill in their census forms.  The census is a government count of all the people in the country.  It gives us all the statistics we need to count how many schools and roads and things we need and also in lots of years’ time your great grandchildren will be able to do their ancestry trees by looking you up on it.  Mummy said we weren’t included on it.  She thought about including us on it but decided not to.

So I thought I would put down my version of  the census answers for you to count. Continue reading “Census night” →

The moon has been getting big and round all week.  Well we know it gets round every 28 days and then it disappears slowly and then comes back again.  Fred has a theory or two about it but I’ve read the astronomy website and I know the science behind it.  I don’t want to spoil his philosophical thoughts though. Continue reading “Moon pigs!” →

Today is the 49th day of our period of mourning for Lord Mariusz of Hattan, forever friend and alter ego of Hugo the Brave.  49 days is a long time in the life of a piggy and so we must move on to a new spring.  We hold him in our hearts for ever, and remember his wisdom.
