Arrived in New Zealand with a dreadful cold, worst I have had in a decade, but soon cheered up and was made welcome by the neighbours. They live in the paddock at the end of the garden.
3 somber alpacas, perhaps they would rather be in Peru.
A small herd of benign cattle, about 8- 10 of them.
Then there is Misty, the miniature horse, who stands 26" to the withers, I am told.
Misty loves to gallop about, but she has a bit of an attitude, thinks she is the paddock princess.
It seems the only one to stand up to her is Mrs Pig, seen here with her 5 greedy offspring.
Lastly there is Mr Pig, quite the ugliest pig I have ever seen. I guess Mrs Pig thinks he is OK.
More on the pigs at another point.
Wow! That porker really is a dog. Still, looks aren't everything and he has helped produce some gorgeous little ones - I just love piglets. Sorry you had to start off your visit with a cold but it looks like there is plenty to see to take your mind off it.
