Description
Rosie, as everyone at the farm called him, was not a small pig, nor a quiet one, nor in any way modest. Every morning he trotted round the yard inspecting the hens, the dog, the tractor and the farmer’s boots, grunting his approval or otherwise. On market day he stood at the gate in his finest mood, glossy and red-bristled, waiting for compliments. The children brought him apples, and he accepted each one as though it were the very least he deserved.
This Rochard boar pig captures that kind of farmyard swagger, painted in vibrant red and green. It is a merry gift for pig lovers, farmers, country kitchen decorators and anyone who enjoys a dash of humour on the windowsill. Displayed among copper pans, enamel jugs and a few sprigs of dried herbs, it looks like it has always belonged in the farmhouse.
