If you see this happening, & you feel up to it have a word with these people, if not phone the Forestry Commission.

Nice pics as always Keith
I agree Keith, my trade is electrician and quite a while ago a was working for a darn good friend who owned the last dairy farm in the village,(he has since died of leukeamia).

I had a light to fix in the pig sty but the grumpy old sow wouldn't let me anywhere near, so the farmer went in with a bamboo stick to fend her off, they it seems, dont like bamboo across their rumps.

Anyway, to cut a rambling story short the pig won and we both ended up scaling the concrete wall of the pig sty.
