The pigs do not like getting their picture taken! Wow, those are BIG pigs! Bet it smelled good...
Pigs are clean animals that normally don't smell. It's the way they are kept at many farms that is so dirty. But not the animals themselves.

Piggies have to wallow, as they don't have the capacity to sweat. For this reason, they appear dirty.
Heaven on earth for pigs, hunh?It's very messy, but the pigs have a whale of a time!.
Charles was quite lucky to have met them outside..

Well, I did not expect him to invite them in his sitting room!
Now that would be a picture!

Here in East Lothian (east of Edinburgh) there is a similar free range pig farm (Gloucester Old Spot pigs). It's very messy, but the pigs have a whale of a time! The bacon also tastes totally different from "packaged" pork.
I love his smile and laugh in these pics. A few pics we could come up with interesting captions for!____________________

It is tradition, not law, that is supposed to keep Prince Charles from encouraging charities? Is he the main benefactor behind these charities or just one of many?
The mushrooms story of the day :
Charles ducks the royal grouse shoot... to hunt mushrooms at Balmoral | Mail Online
Always amazes me how you Russians can do that! My ex used to pick chantrelles off the mountain. We had morels in Eastern Oregon. Always a treat. And not long in season so I would imagine Prince Charles thought he could ALWAYs go grouse hunting but had a finite amount of time for the mushrooms.If I had a choice between shooting and picking mushrooms, I'd choose the latter as well. The article brings back some nice childhood memories of summers spent in our country house (I use the terms loosely because in reality it was a summer shack with no indoor facilities, but hey, that's USSR country living for you). My mom and grandfather would go mushroom picking in the nearby woods and I'd go with them sometimes. My mother had a knack for finding a heck of a lot of mushrooms, which was appreciated in the kitchen.
