NB Acres (The Pig Pace), Oxford Canal


A lovely day, we were off at 0600 and after an uneventful run arrived at The Pig Far at 1000 we paind £10 for the moring and £2 for electricity and set the washing machine to work for its living. 











Later in the morning Caroline brought the grandsons for a visit to see the pigs.  Unfortunately they were both wearing Liverpool Football Club shirts, so Grandad wasn't too chuffed.  They had a great time fishing from the bow with the new fishing nets and feeding the ducks before they had to head on back to Lichfield.

It's funny, it will take us weeks to get back to Birmingham, yet it is only a short distance by car,



Here is a 1st Birthday card.  I traced the number onto pink gingham paper and cut it out, marking the edges with a dark ink pad so it would stand out.  I stuck pink floral paper to a white card blank, then a small panel of dotty paper which had also been edged with ink and added the number with double sided foam.  The sentiment was made using a computer and a bow and 6 pearls were added as decoration.
