Here Teddy is doing a great impression of nearly every human around the world - hiding. If only it were that easy to not take responsibility for our actions. All Teddy has done is pinched Bess and Little Beans apples and is now pretending to be invisible. He is an amazing little character.

After a long day of caring for the garden folk, the human folk closed the end of the day together. Jacket potatoes on the fire and log sparklers ; archery, hide and seek and tall tales of phantoms and werewolves. Listening to the frogs start to call for mates in the lake while watching the super moon. Bats dipping above our heads, while the owls hoot and the peacocks call out their melancholy goodnight.
The lockdown doesn't change our human lives ; we are used to being isolated. From one month to the next we don't go out to bars or restaurants. Our lives revolve around the needs of the folk in our care, from the smallest to the large, we listen and watch. Our days start before dawn, in the darkness and finish on or after the sun dips below the horizon. The children aren't phased by what may come, or if the shops run out of food. As parents and guardians of so many, Jerome and I are only concerned with everyone's wellbeing.
We are enjoying the extra quietness of the world, the skies left undisturbed. The growing confidence of the wildlife around us. The air is cleaner, sweeter ; a noticeable lack of chemical spray and noxious car fumes. Our dream is that lessons can be learned and that compassion can be awakened, while people are locked away. May the human animal set forth again into a world, more quietly than before, with more reverence for the beauty of the home they depend on and all that inhabit within.

The little fellow in the photo is "Teddy" so named for his nature.Teddy is a cross mangalitsa-duroc pig. He is the brother of Little Bean and Bess, who you will get to meet later on. He came to us from an organic, free-range farm, so had never been treated for anything at all so when he first arrived he was hideously covered in lice, to the point that touching him, they would run up your arm. He was slightly underweight, but very loving.

Teddy has grown into a magnificent little man of around 90 kilos. He will be the first person to come if you sit in the garden, he will come and lie on you. He is incredibly loving, and very protective of the other animals, not necessarily the pigs, so when there is a fight in the garden, he will stand between the birds that are fighting and play referee.

Teddy’s favourite snack is peaches and pears, although he will do a little run around and yelp for a biscuit. We have never taught him to do it, but he gets very excited for a biscuit. He is the most gentle. It must be said that boars are always maligned as being aggressive and dangerous and we find that actually the boars are more easily handled and more gentle than the sows.
