My Little Porkie

It was March 2013 when I first saw a Tweet from @samphireshop promoting their "My Little Porkie" scheme whereby you pay a modest deposit to have your very own little, pedigree rare breed and completely free range, piglet. They will look after it and send you regular updates and photos. You can even visit your pig if you want to. I chose not to share the photos and updates with the family less they got too attached, leaving me and the dog to eat a whole pig between us. A task I suspect, Tori the family Red Setter was more than up for. Six months on (double the time commercial pigs are reared for) and My Little Porkie was ready for slaughter. This Blog records what I did next.....
