Pampered pigs rule the roost at Brightley .


TREVOR and An¬gela Dunstone from Brightley farm and Lake Eland don't have grandkids' yet, but their adopt¬ed pair of orphaned ‘grandpigs' is giving them a very good idea of what might lie ahead one day.
The two hairy and aerial-tailed sisters called Madam and Eve were brought to Brightley Farm to be spoiled and fattened up after being orphaned at LAKE ELAND during December last year.

Spending their days in a spacious 'pigpen', complete with mud bath, beach umbrellas and a chair on which Trevor sits to cuddle them, they have grown from scrawny, rough and hairy ba¬bies since their arrival three months ago into ‘spekvet', rough, hairy and adamantly demand¬ing miniature warthogs.
With their enclosure being just outside your scribe’s office, their presence is constantly heard especially when it's time for 'Grandma Angela' to bring their milk bottles. They have of late become so bois¬terous that, in order to preserve her pedicure, Angela has to swop her Jimmy Choo high heels for gumboots before bottling them.
In the late after¬noons with all the dogs locked away (for the dogs' safety!), the gate to their creche is opened and they teeter on their sharp little trotters, following Trevor and Angela to be tucked into bed in their warm and secure night quar¬ters. Their imminent release into a vast eco-¬enclosure at LAKE ELAND will leave a huge void at Brightley Farm.
