box of goodies, camera at the ready, because I wanted to photograph
the piglets waking up and emerging from their arks. I put the box
carefully down on the grass and as I did so I was knocked for six by
Megpeg, who had escaped from her enclosure and charged at me from
behind. Needless to say, she had no aggressive intentions toward me,
but rather saw me as an obstacle to getting at all the food I had
brought. Before I could get up and dust myself off, she had stuck her
greedy snout in the box and wolfed down a slice of chocolate and
orange cake I had been saving for her mother, complete with the
Terry's Orange segment stuck into the icing for garnish. I managed to
lure her back into her enclosure with a couple of Cox's Orange
Pippins, which I then gave to one of the others out of spite.
The big treat of the day was a couple of dozen overripe hass avocados
which the piglets devoured in seconds, together with some coriander
stalks and a couple of onions - a kind of deconstructed guacamole.
