A 'Pig Paradise' first.

Our course on Saturday 2nd September.

Two of the course members had travelled all the way from Kampala in Uganda. Frederick and Elizabeth Ssempebwa took advantage of the fact that they were visiting the UK to attend our rare breed pig keeping course
...... and it was even better as it was Frederick's birthday on the Saturday. The pictures illustrate a very happy course indeed with Frederick cutting his surprise birthday cake and other course members coming from Penzance, Cirencester, Derbyshire and Monmouthshire enjoying the special 'Pig Paradise' lunch.
