How could I reminisce about life in Nadowli without
mentioning the pigs. At this point in the year they are looking pretty healthy
and stout. There has been a lot to forage on after the harvests and as the pigs
roam freely now, they can help themselves to anything they fancy. The remains
of maize and other crops litter the whole farming area and provide good feeds
for these animals.
Any waste water offers them a mud bath and they wallow
contentedly before wandering proudly displaying a crusty tide mark at various
levels on their fat bodies. Although they seem contented and free to roam,
there is always pork in the market. Slaughtering is done where they are caught
and within earshot of their friends. I imagine that makes you rather nervous
and inclined to hide a lot of the time!
