Weekend Of Pigs

My daughter Issy(6) and myself set out to spot as many as possible of the King Bladud's Pigs, this last weekend. After printing the list from the website we set off with a camera and wandered the highways and byways of Bath. Below are the pigs we found and hopefully the notes below each one are correct.

I will try to keep the list updated as new pigs arrive. Given there are so many of them it will take a little while to get everything up to speed and correctly labelled... I'll also take a few pictures again as Issy is not happy with the quality of all the shots.
