🙂 I hoped the reference wasn't missed !

Genuinely Doris' sister (my gran) told me their grandparents were posh, you could tell, because they had a pig at the bottom of the yard ...

Oooh, jumpers for goalposts!  My maternal grandparents' next-door neighbours apparently used to keep a pig at the end of their garden when there were two of them (I assume the husband was dead by the time I was old enough to understand that keeping a pig at the end of a garden in Scunthorpe was, err, "unusual"

There's a place called Gornal in the Black Country where the legend goes they were so fond of the pigs (kept, often by a small co-operative of households , to fatten on domestic scraps) they took them out and sat them on the front wall to watch the parade go by ...

The good thing is , at least the moon doesn't turn pink or draw blood !! 😂

Hunter's and Harvest were enough for me when I were a lad.

Given the near total disconnection from the cycles nature of many people these days I'm surprised they're not now called things like "The Kanye Moon" or "The Bestival Moon".

I am waiting for an 'unprecedented' Moon. Presume it will just pop up and not bother with the boring old lunar cycle.😠 its being grumpy that keeps me cheerful !

However the antipodean branch of the family should have had a total eclipse on Wednesday. Awaiting report. That's worth a shout.
