Meet Gilbert

Farnham, Surrey

Yes, that's right, Gilbert. This fellow is a Kune Kune Piglet, native to New Zealand I believe. Now the question is, where in town am I likely to find him, along with a goat, a mule and a turkey? And its not the supermarket. Of course you all know the answer, don't you? We Brits tend to put such animals together in a shop selling ornate lighting, its just a little known tradition of ours. These creatures actually belong to Miller’s Ark, a farm that takes them to schools and residential homes and so on.

Thank you Jill for such kind words. Its wonderful that we can share each others photos like this - I've now added you to my 'favourites' list which I look at at least daily. ~~~Ray.

Just a note to say that I enjoy your photography everyday. I have never had the opportunity to see farm animals with the exception of magazines and such..so this is a pleasure for me. I have asked my husband for a pig..to no avail.
