Is there a possible plan to release them back into the wild afoot? I believe they have restored wild boar to some parts of scotland.<br /><br />I'm not sure they are tamworths, I'm no expert but all the tamworths I have ever seen have been pure, not a single bit of black on them, I reckon they might just be Oxford Sandy and Blacks.<br /><br />An excellent find though, I look forward to reading more about them.Damn The Broccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783563585674686848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883083227309962298.post-51762592885534578042010-06-13T22:25:03.808+01:002010-06-13T22:25:03.808+01:00Hello Wolfy,

The feeling of not having that interaction, whether writing, commenting on or being commented upon with folks such as your good self, Casey (owl), Keith (Le Loup) to name but a few does seem to leave a slight void, almost as if one is letting folks down in a strange way. But we all have lives to lead, and if we didn't live them to the full, what an earth would there be to write about?<br />One thing that I do find though, my life is certainly far the richer for the meeting (if only electronically)of your self and the others, it would certainly be an achievement if that someday I could meet some of you in the flesh to swap our tales around a fire over a brew, another one for the Bucket list?<br />Keep well,<br />Johnmurphyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382223977388631947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883083227309962298.post-61857559026594450472010-06-13T16:16:26.429+01:002010-06-13T16:16:26.429+01:00John,

As guilty as I feel for not posting my own pieces, I think I feel worse about not commenting on my friends blogs. Like yours.<br /><br />(At what point did our Blogs go from being a "slice of our lives" and beginning owning us???)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm back, and as usual, love your new piece, especially the newly found Oinkers. The only fear I have is that ethy getout ofthe remote penned area - they are among the most destructive creatures on earth when they go from domestic to feral.<br /><br />But they ALWAYS tast e good!Wolfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144231875392437832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883083227309962298.post-64368275156253225842010-06-13T09:18:10.266+01:002010-06-13T09:18:10.266+01:00Hi Karen,
