Lovely four year old lady Fflur (spoken "Fleer", Welsh name that means "Flower" ) has finally arrived in Coventry and is now busy finding her feet and making friends with shy Cariad.

I was great meeting Laura and her lovely family, and of course all her piggies (I couldn't get a cuddle with all of them, but not for lack of trying)! I even got s sneak preview on her latest gorgeous addition who had arrived this morning together with Fflur, thanks to sophiew.

So here we go:

The big squeeze

Dinner - just in time!

Fflur is certainly a nosy little lady!

What is that lump?

Hello!

No problems with the appetite!

The two ladies have now been transferred to their cage for the night and another cuddle-up as far as I can see!
 
Wonderful to see them settling together so well! I am thrilled Cariad and Fflur have taken to each other, I do hope it makes Fflur's transition into the main group much easier for everybody.

It was lovely meeting you, I hope one day to be able to come and visit you and the rest of your beautiful tribe of guineas!
 
Fflur is lovely. I think the last photo with her and that little piece of hay in her mouth is just very cute. I had to laugh at the pronunciation of her name though, living round here she would sound like a scouse fleur!. xx

She is SO cute! And she totally looks like two different pigs depending on which side greets the camera! Love the name too...

She does have two completely differnt sides - like her husband-to-be Llewelyn; both have actually quite similar markings...

Fflur is not as big as Nerys, but she certainly is more bum than piggy... :)) A very personable character!

Fflur was kind of the natural Welsh name to choose for a lady called "Flower"!
 
Such wonderful pictures, great to see them getting on so well, love those names hun :(|)
 
I am pretty sure - Fflur is not aggressive, and I don't think she will push for the top spot. But according to Teresa, she likes to single out a piggy as her "special friend" in a group to be with at all times. That is why I am trying to bond her to my oddball Cariad before introducing her to the whole group.
 
Sweet! I have been waiting for these pictures to see how she's getting on. AHHH bless her!

Fingers crossed for a smooth bonding session all round. When do you think you'll introduce her to the rest?
 
So glad this little lady is sharing her life with you and the girls. She is gorgeous.

Depending on how things are going, tomorrow or the day after. but as she is not aggressive with new piggies, I don't expect any problems.
 
The pictures are fab and do love the one of her investigating 'the lump'. Its lovely to see that she has settled already and I'm sure she will have no problems becoming part of your tribe.

She looks a real sweety. x)
 
Lovely pictures of beautiful girls (and I love the new avatar). They look as if they've been together forever, so it bodes well for a very happy herd.
 
its great to see shes settling in well and cariad is a kind pig to look after her i can imagine all the secrets shes telling her tonight :) are you just keeping her with cariad for now or letting her meet them all
 
x)x) Awww she's beautiful! I've been checking the forum on and off all day to see the piccies of yours and Laura's new additions!

I hope she settles in well... it certainly looks like she is. She's so pretty!
 
Aww - I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes - I really cant believe that Fflur has been lucky enough to find such a fantastic home at her time of life.

I really thought that she would be spending the rest of her time here with me and although I would, of course, have cared for her in every way possible she would never have been able to have so much attention as she will receive now.

Appetite has been the one thing she has never lacked rolleyes Just hope she dosen't gobble up everyone else's dinner :))

A massive thankyou to Sophie and Laura for helping to get Fflur to her new home - so lovely how people on here offer help wherever it's needed xx>>>

Wiebke - thankyou from the bottom of my heart for giving little Fflur a safe and happy place to spend her retirement :) Look forward to seeing her around on the forum with her new friends.

Teresa x

The preparatory meetings have already started! Please excuse the state of the carpet - I managed to clean the piggies out after a romp from a busy Llewelyn yesterday evening, but didn't get around to hoovering up the mess today before we left to pick up Fflur!

The tribe is saying hello to Cariad and the newbie:
Telyn and Nia

The patriarch has arrived!

Fflur was starting to feel a bit beleaguered, so all piggies are now back in their respective cages. It didn't keep her from taking her piece of cucumber from my hands, though! :))

AWW it seems to be going great! They are all so interested aren't they! Good news.

Your carpet looks cleaner than my floor too!
 
It's like the welcoming committee making the official visit or something! I bet she feels really at home now - looks everyone was officially introducing themselves :)) :)
 
What lovely photos Wiebke! It's great to see Fflur and Cariad getting along so well so quickly :)
