Challenge Complete!!, we sold most of our land and Farm House! Enabling us to concentrate on Purl Design LLP - Sustainable Architecture and allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful retreat here at The Mill Cottages in either of our one bed cottages, along with our resident pets, ponies, chickens, goats, cats and dogs! We have spent the last year renovating the 400 year old mill for us to live in, completed late 2012 and love every minute!!!... We are looking forward to another successful year.

FIRST PIGLETS OF THE YEAR
Rosie was near to birthing, but I really thought she had a few more days yet, but no... 6am she started to give birth, the first one arrived and was on her own for about 40 mins which was a bit of a worry, so we named her Sparkle. Then 3 more arrived with a little help from me and Pete, it was quite exciting, 3 hours in and we only had 4, then one arrived not breathing so Pete tried his hardest to resuscitate it but with no avail,...another 45 mins passed, it was a slow birth this time, after 61/2 hours Rosie finally made 7 little piglets or sparklers!!! Sparkle had siblings!!!, she must have been shattered, they are all so cute and fed really well straight away, I have posted so many piglet photos, but I love them so here's a few more!!! At least Pete was here this time and not away at golf...
