Samantha

My friend Samantha has spent this Summer travelling across Europe with her two Sons. I got a postcard from her this week that was written on the beach in the South of France just before she headed into Italy :) the corner of the postcard was wet from the Med Sea, there was a bit of sand tucked under the address label and she had drawn the sun on the postcard too :) How cool :)

They've been popping into cyber cafe's and blogging their journey as they backpack through Europe which has been fun to read too :)

Looks like they've been making some wonderful memories before her boys head off to college etc They will soon head back to England to spend some time with their family before flying back to Edmonton.

How wonderful :)

Davidson...and Charlie!!!

Last night we spent the evening out by the firepit as Lloyd wanted to burn a lot of the old fence posts we had piled up by the workshop. While we were out there the piggies were out there 'socialising' with us!

They have been spending more and more time together over the last few days. They still ignore each other for the most part. Davidson is far too energetic for Charlie - Charlie is so lazy and spends much of her time asleep in the sun!

The only time Charlie seems to lose her temper with Davidson is when food is involved and then she shows Davidson who is boss! So we feed Charlie first and make sure she has plenty of food and then all is well!

Davidson is still happy to have all this space and goes off to play and explore in the trees and loves to curl up in the space where the Peony was which is like a little hole of mud so we fill it with water and he cools off in that - and has sadly flattened my sunflowers that were growing in there....sigh...but he is happy :)

I wonder what the workmen thinnk now we have two piggies :)

As you can see, Davidson is a playful little thing whereas Charlie likes to just have her tummy rubbed - anything that can be done that means she doesn't have to get up! Lazy fat pig lol!
