| Introduction | I moved from London to the north east of England 3 years ago. I was a total 'townie' until I moved and didn't know the first thing about the countryside! I thought that straw and hay were the same thing - for those non-townies out there, you'll know that that's bad... Anyway, having avidly watched and read everything that Hugh Fearnley-Whittinstall has done, I've become a lot more interested in where our food comes from and how it's produced. To that end, I'm now a lot more conscious of what I put in my mouth and totally appreciate that animals must have as happy a life as possible, not only for them to taste good, but also so that they enjoy their relatively short time on this earth. Hugh reckons that pigs are pretty easy to keep and so I thought I'd give it a go. As it turned out, yes they were really easy to keep but having to say goodbye I found very traumatic. This blog is now just tales of what I get up to in my day to day life! |
