I'm not telling Porkies !! by ladymagpie

I'm not telling Porkies !!

When I was very young my Mother would question me about something that may of happened. Obviously I would tell her some fantastic story, to which she would say, "You're not telling me porkies are you".

Well this is the truth, back in my friends garden another ornament was dug up from being half buried and hidden under the hedging. This quite large pig and her piglets may need a good clean, or perhaps not, but I like this one. What else will be rooted out.

Just for fun:- What do you put on a poorly pig - "Oinkment"

@justaspark @philcameron59 @thresheg @virtualbrownie @ziggy77 @cassiejoy @stormi40 @linnypinny @kathiecb @khawbecker Thank you all for your lovely comments, very much appreciated. Just for those people who don't know where telling porkies comes from. It's Cockney slang, PORK PIES - LIES.

@barbarajdonnellan Thanks Barbara, as I said earlier, it comes from the Cockney (London) slang - Pork Pies, Lies.
