| Freddie & Harvey doing The Pig Trail at Oxborough Hall |
This year as part of The Brecks Food Festival (which takes
place during the third weekend of every September) we did lots of simple yet
incredibly rewarding things, one of which was taking a Large Black Sow with some
of her piglets to our neighbours at
Oxburgh Hall for the day.

The Kitchen at ‘The Hall’ embraced the festival with open
arms and everything that was served over the weekend had been sourced in
The Brecks including The
Breckland Banger sold by
Impsons
Butchers and made from Scott Field Pork.
We had anticipated & indeed met, lots of children including Freddie &
Harvey who had fun doing The Pig Trail that was organised by staff at Oxburgh
Hall. An unexpected pleasure however was
hearing the memories that were prompted by some of the older generation that
came to meet Elizabeth, our Large Black Sow.

Half way through the day we realised that these recollections should be saved and turned on one of our mobile phones.
The Breckland View have kindly collated these very amateurish recordings and turned them into a delightful piece. By following the link you will find childhood memories of a
very different Oxborough than the one that exists today from garden steward Bob
Greef,
Suffolk Childhood memories of
pigs from Terry Squire of Bungay & ‘The
Joke of the Day’ cracked by former National Trust photographer, Andrew Besley.
I hope that you enjoy listening as much as we did recording.....
