The Return of the Pig

Well, sorta.

Remember The Bakelite Pig?

Well, I bought a replacement pig on the internet. It is called a Stanhope. It has a picture of Killarney in it. It is made of bone. I cannot sleep I am so excited about it.

The whole thing is so laden with layers of symbolism that I cannot even begin to explain it to you. I want you to imagine an Empire State Buildingsworth of hope, crammed into a tiny glass photograph, wrapped inside a tiny pig.



Welcome to Killarney.

I am so excited for you! There are a number of toys from my childhood I'd love to be reunited with.

Yes - I am overjoyed. Plus it's actually a piece of jewellery for a grown-up, so I can take it on the bus and not get stared at.
