Well, would you believe it? Doris has given birth to triplets just in time for me to see them before I leave. Perfect timing and they are
beautiful, if I may say so. I didn’t witness the birth but could hear the kids
bleating from a shelter near my kitchen window. This photo was taken minutes
later. I haven’t seen them since then as I think the family are keeping a close
eye on this brood. I am sure Doris delivered two last time in the dark and
rain, but one was taken, probably by a pig or dog and didn’t survive. 
The following day a pig delivered 6 piglets under our tree. It is all happening! My sister, Ros, thinks they are all giving me leaving gifts. It is a lovely thought. Imagine if I had to transport all of these home!
As you
can imagine, it is the survival of the fittest here……..for animals and humans!
Life goes on and as I prepare to leave Nadowli, these new arrivals begin
their life here in the increasing warmth of an impending hot season. I may miss
that too!!
