Pixie Finds Her Voice!

By Mildred on 25/06/2014

Quick! The camera is here! You do it, Pixie, I’m too small!

It seems I have been voted spokes-piggy so, if we may have a drum roll, please . .

It gives me great pleasure . . .

. . . to announce the arrival of a brand new family member!

Freshly delivered yesterday may I introduce Lady Florence Plimsole!

A grand name for a rather grand piggy, bestowed upon her furry little head by our friend and celebrated writer, Auntie Alden.

This is the bit where we eat our lunch, Lady Flo – tuck in!

Go steady, you don’t need to eat it all! (I can see I’m going to have my paws full with this one!)

I’m sure you will agree her new title suits her most suitably – I think Fairy would approve being such a Royal piggy herself.

Did I do it ok, Pansy . . . PANSY!

It’s the little ‘uns you have to watch, Flo!

We’d better get all this grass tidied away before Pansy finds it – get munching!

If you need a reminder of Fairy’s Royal and Titled connections you can go here, here or here!

New Additions!

By Mildred on 30/04/2014

Life goes on . . . and it is time for an update.

Welcome to the new arrivals! Meet Poppy and Posy – a pair of proper pirate-pigs, into mischief and causing mayhem at every turn!

And another new guinea pig joined us recently, Big Bear, in memory of our own beautiful Bear.

She is an amazing and very beautiful chainsaw carved sculpture, created for us by the very talented Mick Burns. He also created Big Mavis and all the other ‘Bigs’ a few years ago.

She is a very BIG Bear indeed! We may need to acquire a new fridge to store the vast quantities of salad and snacks needed to sustain her!

As summer approaches, Pixie and Pansy have been enjoying a few minutes in the garden.

And the whole herd went for a ride in Fairy’s wheelbarrow. It was remarkable they all managed to face the same way for their photo – if only for 2 seconds!

Now then Pixie my old fruit. Kinda peace-able in these here parts of late. It’s been very quiet – too quiet some would say. Happen there’s a storm blowing in to town. Either that or a double decker bus.

Between you, me and the salad bowl, I think there may be a very special delivery on it’s way. I overheard Daddy on the telephone the other day arranging for some very romantic Flowers for our Mummy. Don’t know what he did this time!

Yep – and here it is now – bang on time! Looks to have lots of passengers on it too. Must be another coach party of tourists.

Err . . . excuse me, sorry to be a bother and everything, but is this the marvellous land of magic we have heard wondiferous tales of – where the famous Fairy lives?

Oh Pansy, I think we must be at the right stop, it all looks super duper lovely.

It does too Daisy. I wonder if the catering type salad bar establishment is open for business.

Well, maybe we are a little earlier than expected. It would appear that lunch isn’t quite ready yet.

Are you sure Pansy? I’ll just clamber up onto the top deck to get a better view.

Oh Daisy, quick, come and look at this? It’s just like in all those wonderful stories. I can see mountains of salad, hay and grass, cosy cuddly beds and, oooo err . . . FAIRY? Oh WOW!

That will be little ol’ moi – and I get to be bus driver because apparently that is the pivotal starring role that really moves the plot along and everything!

C’mon you little ‘uns! All aboard, nothing to see here, time you were going. Tickets please, two halves is it? Ding ding and other highly significant and profound Bus type utterances!

Err excuse me Fairy your eminence, me and Pansy, we err, were wondering . . . seeing as we don’t have a forever home, whether it might be . . . if we could . . . maybe you could possibly see your way . . . perhaps we quite thought we might be allowed to errr, STAY HERE WITH YOU AND PIXIE. If you don’t mind too much please, thank you! What’s for tea?

DAAAAAAAAAAADDDY! When I accidentally overheard you mentioning ‘Daisy and Pansy’, I thought you meant the smelly, petal-y flower kind, not the smelly, ravenous furry sort!

What’s that? We will have to have our salad and pellet ration increased dramatically because there are two more mouths to feed???? Brilliant!!!! Welcome aboard you two – everyone off the bus please, ding, ding, hold very tight please, ding, ding again because I like saying it, this bus terminates here – you two have arrived at your destination – Fairyland.

Fairy’s New Three Piece!

By Mildred on 23/04/2013

Oh hello! Has my new three piece been delivered?

Good! Oh whooo! It’s lovely and pink, my favourite colour.

Now then you two, I will spell this out for you – it says FAIRY, that means ME!

This means this is the place where I will sit – not YOU, Bear, or YOU, Pixie, if you don’t mind.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Yes, it is very comfy indeed . . . can we get the removal men in to move it into my house?

Psst! Bear, do you think it really does say ‘FAIRY’? It might SAY Fairy when it really means BEAR.

Well, this armchair suits me just fine, Pixie! It may not be quite my size but it will do.

Err, excuse me, Bear, but I see the cushion has been squashed down on MY CHAIR!

You will have to wait until I have finished my snack before I come and sort you out. I may be a few minutes . . . !

Happy Easter Bunny-Pigs!

By Mildred on 31/03/2013

Hello there my lovelies.

Mummy says it’s Easter – time for another of my splendiferous set-piece photo portrait type heirloom thingies. As it’s Easter Mummy wants us to be all good and colourful and very well behaved – no problems there then! I’ve recruited a clutch of fluffy chicks to make up the numbers. I can’t help but notice that everything looks all under control though. Is there something missing?

Oh yes of course, my pesky little(!) pigsisters. Here they come. It was never going to be straight forward was it?

‘I say Pixie, I don’t think much to that droopy looking salad’

‘Don’t panic Bear, I’ll check to see if Fairy has hidden some tasty treats behind here.’

‘Egg-celent idea, Pixie.’

‘The weather looks nice for the time of year, Bear – all that sun will get the salad growing nicely – Yum.’

Never mind grazing out the window Pixie, get your bottoms over here pronto for an Easter family portrait.

‘Hummph, call this a snack Bear? I suppose it will have to do.’

‘I’ve nearly finish all of mine Pixie – time to sneak off to pastures new.’

Goodness me – what a kerfuffle. Lucky I had ordered a couple well behaved and very photogenic chicklets, Basil and Dill, to help me look all photogenic and everything.

Happy Easter everyone!

A Right Royal Occasion!

By Mildred on 23/03/2013

Hello my darlings. I wonder what unalloyed joys today has in store for me?

Oh yes, I remember – I am off to The Palace for an audience with some major Royals. How jolly nice for them!

Good day, ma’am, your ladyship, Princess Anastasia Teacake. Nice place you have here.

When do we eat?

Oh and Crown Prince Roland Butter too! Delighted I’m sure.

Wow – now that’s what I call a cucumber sandwich – i’m going to like it here.

Umm, Anastasia my love, I rather thought we were supposed to be the big wigs round here. Shouldn’t Fairy be curtseying or bowing or at least saving something for us to eat?

Now see here Crown Prince Rowland Butter or whatever your name is, let’s get something straight shall we? Fairy is The Boss and when she is hungry, she eats. Is that clear? Good! Now isn’t it time to introduce me to The Minor Royals? They might want to give me a lovely present or two!

Prince Macca Roon and Princess Victoria Sponge! How sweeeeeeet! That really takes the cake. Sounds like they were named by Marie Antoinette!

I’m reminded of the excellent advice about having your cake and eating some salad – or something equally perplexing but vaguely food related. Time for a smackerel!

Hummph – as you all know, I’m not one to complain, but if this is supposed to be tea, I might just start!

Oh well, might as well clear the plates – waste not, want . . . a bit more!

Well, that was very, err, dainty.

Oh, you are expecting a happy event your Princesship? Humm – could be another snack perhaps?

A special delivery! This must be it – Yum.

Oh goodness me – it was ‘THAT’ sort of happy event!

More mouths to feed, oh dear.

They are adorable, I suppose.

You invited me here for a special reason, your Princeship? Do tell?

You want me to be the ‘Fairy Godmummy’ to Princlet Rolly Polly and Princesslet Sue Flae?

Oh, what a lovely surprise. I am delighted to accept.

I was going to suggest we celebrate the happy event with a jolly good slap-up feed. But, it looks like I’m going to need to call up some reinforcements.

Where are Bear and Pixie when I need them?

I knew that!

Fairy always insists that she is accompanied by her special emergency reserve salad supply, when out and about onmanoeuvres, Pixie.

Looks like we were just in time then, Bear! I can’t spot a single spare lettuce.

Right everybody – you all look pretty while I tidy away this messy salad.

Perfect end to a perfect right royal day – burp – pardon!

It’s MY Big Day!

By Mildred on 14/02/2013

Hello there my adoring Fairy Fans. Today is an even more special day in the Piggery calendar than usual – It’s VALENTINES DAY!

I wonder what tokens of everlasting love have winged their way from far flung corners of the globe to my cuddle cup?

Judging by all the excitement the postman’s made a delivery!

Errr, Bear, what’s this Valentine’s Day thingy about then?

Ummm, that’s easy Pixie – no idea! But if I’m not very much mistaken, it involves presents and therefore a strong likelihood of tasty treats too.

Quick, while Fairy gets herself all beautified, let’s check what’s snackable in here?

I say Pixie, steady on there. I rather suspect that that there packaged was addressed to little ole’ me.

Stand back – Fairy coming through.

Goodness me – there are tasty treats! I’d better tell Bear quick, while Fairy pontificates about something or other.

Bear, you should have seen it. More gloriously hearty mouthfuls than you could shake a piggy butt at.

Time to hatch a cunning wheeze type plan.

Fairy – why don’t you check to see who sent this wonderful Valentines Day tribute, while we tidy up.

Hummmph – tidy up? I can’t help thinking those pesky twosome are up to something.

Now, let me see. Oh yes, this wonderful card was sent by my gorgeous boarfriends Gomez, Frederick, Ernie, Humphrey, Vincent, Oscar, Elmo and Herman, and posted by their Pig-Mummy, Auntie Pyretta. A jolly great big thank you to them.

What on earth is all that chomping noise coming from behind the card? I can hardly hear myself read!!!!!

Ha, those two will need to get up earlier in the afternoon if they want to out smart Fairy. I cunningly deployed a decoy packet of substitute tasteless treats. So while those two greedy piglets have a snooze to recover, I get to nibble the real pressie packet all to myself AND – I get to wear a trendy hat too!

Oh, I do love Valentine’s Day – almost as much as I love all of you! xxxxxx

Happy Valentine!

By Mildred on 13/02/2013

It’s me, Pixie, here.

I am hijacking Fairy’s Blog to send a secret message to some very gorgeous boy piggy boars I know . . .

Roses are Red and Violets are Blue

But don’t send me those – they will never do.

I’d rather have carrots and lots of things green –

Send me those, dear, and I’ll be your Queen!

Fairy And the Snowpig!

By Mildred on 20/01/2013

Look! I have taken advantage of the recent abundant snowfall and built my very own snowpig!

Yikes! he’s a scary fellow!

Let me see . . . hum, very tasty!

He smells funny, Pixie!

Is he here to stay, do you know, Fairy?

NO! He isn’t staying! he couldn’t if he tried.
Line up quick, everyone, time for a group photo before he melts away!

Treats For All!

By Mildred on 13/12/2012

It is that time of year for our two new arrivals to be introduced to the noble tradition of posing for a Christmas family portrait. Unfortunately, not all Piggies are as co-operative and naturally adept as Fairy!

Here’s Bear to explain . . .

Oooooo-errrrr, don’t look now – I must be dreaming. Treats keep materialising above my head as if by magic!

Oh . . . maybe it’s Santa coming to our house early. A practice run, maybe?

I’d better keep this to myself.

Oh-ho! I thought it was too good to be true – Pixie heard my munchy noises!

Oh for goodness sakes, Fairy’s in on it now! And there was hardly enough for a decent mouthful anyway!

An Early Christmas Gift for Fairy!

By Mildred on 10/12/2012

Well hello there my loyal followers. As you will all know by now, I take great pride in my appearance and personal grooming. To maintain the impossibly high standards I have established I rely on only the very best and efficacious products. So it was with great excitement that I opened today’s post and out popped a brand new Gorgeous Guineas Shampoo from one of my many Secret Admirers, Digger – and even better, it was an extra special Christmas Spice variety – BLISS!!!!

So come on Mummy – it’s pampering Fairy time.

Hurry along there – is the bath water ready yet?

Ooooooh – just the right temperature – lovely.

And now for the moment I’ve all been waiting for – the Shampoo!

Tee-hee! You are tickling my toes Mummy – very fetching they look too I might add.

That’s it, give me a good rub down for that fashionable ‘I just chewed through an electric cable, look’

Brrrruuuuhhhhhhhhzzzup!

This is my amazing ‘Levitating Fairy’ trick!

This part is the best bit ever!

Hummmph – I thought there would be the odd snack or two during my session.

That’s me all primped and preened. Now for some fun – it’s Bear and Pixie time.

To save water (and my bestest ever shampoo) they are having their bath together!

Mmm! Pixie, do you like the nice Christmassy aroma from MY shampoo?! Not too much Mummy.

Be a big girl, Bear (oh! You ARE!), the fur drier doesn’t hurt that much!

This has to be the best ever Gorgeous Guineas Shampoo – thank you, Digger!

We ALL smell lovely and Christmassy now, and feels as smooth as silk!

Our Grand Opening!

By Mildred on 01/12/2012

There was great excitement and a good deal of traditional British Pomp & Ceremony at the Piggery today. It was our OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY.

We were indeed fortunate to have secured the services of Princess Alice and Dame Rachel to perform the necessaries.

Early this morning an exuberant audience gasped in wonder as our royal guests arrive and attempt to walk up the red carpet. Dame Rachel is a little unsteady on her pins these days, bless her.
