Another image from a productive day out to Nottingham visiting family this week.
DB Cargo Tug 60039 'Dove Holes' passes through the station and disappears east with the 12.20pm Toton Sidings - Boston Steel 'pig-pens' (6E02). Meantime, Cross Country unit 170114 stands at platform 4 after arriving with the 9.45am ex-Cardiff (1M60).
Bay platform 5 is to the near right, and currently empty. Once a through platform it was turned into a bay during the track modifications made a few years ago intended to increase the station's capacity.
I couldn't resist exploiting the shape and rippled texture of those 'pig-pen' wagons, and who knows how long they'll be around.
Apologies for the obscure title - those in the know will know, maybe.

Introducing Lucy. She is my son's pet and has just moved into the living room while we fix Erics floors. The poor creature has managed 7 years but now it's time for her to put up with my camera. She doesn't mind at all. The most cheerful little soul she is!
'Flying Pig' 43106 stands at Kidderminster Town station with moody skies beyond. The weather that day was mixed to say the least.
Usually there's a giant rat placed at these non-union construction sites but this one had a big inflated pig.
Found in a display window honoring Iowa pork! Love the blue boots - keeps the mud off the pig's feet!
Happy Smile on Saturday!

It was quite foggy when we got up this morning but as it is Pannage time in the Forest we thought we would go out anyway to see if we could spot any pigs. We ended up seeing about 30 dotted along our short route
Pannage, also known as Common of Mast, is the right of commoners to release their domestic pigs onto the open forest to forage for fallen acorns, chestnuts and beech mast. It’s a custom that dates back to the time of William the Conqueror, who founded the New Forest in 1079. These spiky, nutrient-rich snacks are harmless to pigs, but toxic in large quantities to the New Forest ponies and cattle who roam year-round - which is why the pigs are so important.
Each autumn, around 600 pigs and piglets snuffle through the undergrowth, clearing the forest floor in a way that’s both natural and vital. It’s the only time of year they’re allowed to roam freely - the rest of the year, they return to their smallholdings under the care of their commoner owners.

In March each day is associated with observed days.
March 1 - Pig Day
And a Minecraft pig celebrating in the dirt after all the rain we had recently gotten in Oklahoma.
The pig trough boat was once the working tool of the Mosuo people, traveling between the islands of Lugu Lake, traveling between water and land, fishing, fishing for shrimps, and collecting aquatic plants on the lake, also is love boat, countless sounds of love sing on the boat.
Rural letter boxes are my theme for today. You see, I have a firm belief that people living in rural areas have far too much time on their hands, and this leads to time-wasting and the construction of frivolous letter boxes like the ones posted here today. You will see them along the highways and country roads all over Australia. This milk churn repurposed as a pink pig is a fine example, and where are the wings, I hear you ask. Yes indeed, so feckless are some rural types, they don't even finish their works of art.
Free range pigs are released by the commoners throughout the forest during the period sept - oct .
This enables the animals to eat the many acorns and so allow less for the ponies to find as they can be poisonous to these animals
(One Fine) Pig in the city! Something, one might not expect to see.

The photo was a spur-of-the-moment snapshot. But, on 14 January 2023, Flickr's editors selected it for inclusion in Flickr's daily Explore feature. One never knows, does one?
