On the way home from school

21 Nov

This is Savita, aged 6,  whom I met on Thursday afternoon when I was walking down a small side road with my camera. She saw me taking photos of a piglet I happened upon (as one does …) and dragged me into her yard to see the mother pig and the rest of the (flock? Herd? What IS the collective noun for piglets?).

And then she asked me to take her photo – so here she is.

She’s very proud of her school uniform, isn’t she?

    Oooh there are a variety of terms – take your pick:
    drove of pigs
    herd of pigs
    litter of pigs
    farrow of pigs (piglets)
    sounder of pigs (wild pigs)
