Wallter has found a lovely home in Gloucestershire.  We moved him last night into the holding pen.. He is such a fantastic pig.  He wandered in with no trouble at all.

So when Camilla arrived at 9.30am to pick him up, I was waxing lyrical about Walter's easy going nature. What I had forgotten was Walter has never been in a trailor before, and had decided he didn't want to!


We tried food , apple first, then nuts then double cream and egg (his favourite), but nothing would tempt him. We lay carpet on the metal ramp to stop the noise. Meanwhile the B and B quests were waiting for directions, their bill and some eggs!

Luckly Alan came to our rescue with his camera, so the whole event was captured. We tried to push him, not a good plan, we tried to talk him in, with encouraging pats and rubs, completely useless.

2 hours later, Walter decides he was really bored, and wandered in. No not really. I had to get in the trailor, and stick Walter's head in a bucket while Camilla and Alan pushed from behind.

The quests were really patient and understood the dilemma..Good luck Walter hope you love your new home. He has gone to Bay Tree Rarebreeds n Berkeley.
