Well, that was a treat. Walking in Holland Park earlier, I noticed that a patch of the woodland area had been fenced off - and there, happily rooting and rummaging about, were four fine Wessex Saddleback pigs. That, surely, is just about the last thing you'd expect to see in West London - but there they were. My heart leapt - as whose would not? There are few more satisfying animals to watch - or to scratch, though in this case an electric fence rather ruled out that option. I shall be returning to gaze fondly at these fine beasts whenever I can.

Pigs Ahoy!

Here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/39854243@N06/4411110621/ - is a whole flickr set of them, to look at when you haven't time to actually go there and see them in the flesh. I wonder who they belong to and what will become of them.
