Pig Woman Jan
It’s still snowy. What to shoot but lovely pal Pig Woman Jan…she’s not a pig but she is a woman and her name is Jan. She stables her horse on the farm where we live and we joint owned the pigs with her and our neighbour, who owns the farm. Much of her pig is currently stored in our freezer and thus we are bonded f…o…r…e…v…e…r….or at least until the meat runs out …
Luckily she is as mad as a snake. Not just because her idea of fun is dressing up a big old cape and getting on her horse for a snowy photoshoot, oh no this just the tip of the iceberg. It’s her new coat that confirms her bonkerdom. She has knitted a coat made from doghair. A dog that she owns. Yes, she has knitted a coat made from the hair of her dog. She has spent years gathering it, spinning it, dying it and then knitting in to the most amazing coat…it’s quite Joseph and his Technicolour etc etc. I should have photographed it but I was too overwhelmed by the moment. Anyway, she’s bonkers and hoorah for that. And here she is with her super and super vast horse Coco. We had a jolly time, can you tell?
