Mud, Mud, glorious Mud!

We've had some great entries to our this months mud competition.  Here are a few of the highlights of the October Competition...

Pigs being part of the local soil

Pigs have proved popular with their muddy antics, let's face it you can't have a muddy photo competition without featuring some pigs.  Peter Bryant sent us a cracking image of his pigs enjoying a bit of mud and Carole Williams sent a  spectacular photo of her Pedigree Tamworth Pig, Spartacus, smiling happily as he enjoys a lovely mud bath!  You could meet this wonderful character by attending one of The Husbandry School's fantastic courses in Devon.

Pumpkin Season

Being Halloween we could hardly miss out on these knobbly (though not so muddy) pumpkins sent in by Paul Woodmin.  Lovely photo, I hope they got put to some good use!

The Big Dig

Thank you Hester Jones for this picture taken at Vale Farm north London as part of The Big Dig -  of this lovely white dog  who volunteered to help dig; getting just the tips of his paws mucky.  We love his total involvement helping to push the fork in!!  A really good effort and in aid of a really good cause, bringing clean water to thousands in rural Malawi.

Festive Fun

Mud and festivals seem to go together. Sarah shared this picture of her legs when she got back from Download festival this year and removed her socks - that was one muddy festival!

You may need longer wellies next year.
