When i need a litte time out to collect my thoughts or to just sit in silence i have a favorite place. Just round the corner tucked just out of sight of the road is our pig field. I grab a bucket of scraps and head off. Our 5 co op kunekune are always pleased to see me. Sniffing the bucket and my pockets to see if i brought scrapes and rolling over for a scratch. I give them their prize and sit a few feet away. The gentle rustling of the grass, occasional wisper of the trees, gentle bird song and absolutely nothing else. I could sit and loose myself in thoughts and imaginings here for hours. I feel very peaceful up here in the valley. The pigs have finished their treats now. One has come to say hi three have gone back to grazing and one has all but dispareared as she licks the bottom of the bucket leaving only her bottom sticking out. Simple pleasure.
