Hey Guys,
Like you all had a fantastic day ;D. You are a lovely bunch
! Only got in at 10.45 pm, had all kinds of train troubles! Stranded in stockport for 45 mins when the service to Manchester Victoria was cut short, then when next train from Stockpot to Manc Vic came we were at a standstill because of signal problems... >
then a late train on the way in to Halifax held me up too :o(!). Never mind though it was sooooooooo worth it
. Can you believe there were enough pigs for one each for the piccys? With leftovers. Kelly please say "Hi" to Ginny... he did you proud. Also fell in love with Hannah (wow!) and was already in love with all of Kate's piggers. Sorry I didn't post my piccys yesterday, I started to but I was whacked after being up since 4.30am
Here are my pics I've tried not to post pics that are the same as those already posted but have saved some of yours too. Never seen such a fabby group pic with Piggy's in it too ;D
Ellie and Debbie with the adorable Hannah (not Ellie's sister Hannah, the piggy Hannah!)
Hannah! :o
Debbie and Sue cuddling Max and Paddy... Congratulations Debbie. We all knew you had fallen for them yesterday though! Hope Spock ends up finding a new home soon (
right Alison?)
Caroline with Spock
Caroline with Kate's Oscar
(Caroline had a cuddle of all the pigs I think!
Alison with Kate's famous Guinea piglympic Athlete Roo...
Ellie with Winnie, Me with Tommy and Kate with a pig... (please excuse my eyes/face
)
Can one person run 3 BBQ's at once? Luke can! Give the boy a gold medal... oh yeah we already did (in the piglympics) ;D
Me and Kate's Tommy (my how he has grown!)
Luke and Ellie with Tommy and Winnie
Now the next pics I saved 'till last. Ginny was a real star. He was so relaxed when everyone was fussing over him, sitting on his Mums shoulder and checking us out. Then we had a game of (very slowly and carefully) Pass the Ginny parcel and Ginny got a cuddle from everyone. Cheeky Monkey Peed on pretty much us all, me and Ellie received a wet patch in the crotch area thanks to this guy (bear in mind I was getting the train), he narrowly missed Kate and Lucinda got lots of poops in her lap! ;D Lucky us. Then when Ginny had met his public he went in to a little run in the garden and ate some grass and some melon. He had a hidey house but he stayed out to keep an eye on us all. He is excellent! I am soooooooo jealous Kelly!
Mike and Ginny

People Cooing over pigs
Big thanks to Ellie and Kate- they are the ones that have put in all the hard work making the day possible and to Carol and Luke who were also little troopers behind the scenes. And to everyone who supported the day by donating, buying raffle tickets etc... but especially all of you who attended you made the day a success and a lot of fun too! Looking forwards to that final total
