I hope everyone had a good break over Christmas, I must admit I certainly did. Skiing is another love of mine and the snow in Austria over Christmas was fantastic. With few crowds at this time, we managed to find some secluded beautiful places on the mountain, as well as a hut with an open fire and great hot wine, where I was inspired with ideas for a new book! The south of France too is yet another home to me, we were lucky with the weather. On one occasion walking 14 miles along the coast of Theole Sur Mer, it was stunning.
I came home to an excited phone call from Lynn Geast, who is a dedicated and passionate student, wanting to share her experience with a couple of pigs she worked with (see below). I also came home to an email from China, outlining the seminars and workshop clinics to be held in Beijing and Hangzhou, which total 3 seminars with 50/60 delegates per seminar, and 20 delegates for each of the 3 clinic workshops (dogs & cats). I leave on March 22nd and return on April 2nd. With Zoophaarmacognosy now to be in China, it looks like it is making headway across the continents. |

Sanctuary rescue pigs, Dolores and Levi, have both been extremely subdued since the death of their little companion, Babe. Their whole demeanour has changed considerably – almost to the point of depression. Also, Dolores got quite badly kicked the other day by our Lily when she ventured into Lil’s paddock. Luckily, there were no broken bones, but poor old ‘Lores is certainly bruised and battered to some extent. However, I was so amazed at what I witnessed today when Lynn came in to the Sanctuary to work with our pigs, that I simply had to tell someone!
Shortly after Lynn arrived at the Sanctuary around mid-day today, I introduced her to Levi and Dolores, who were both dozing in their stable. There was a slight air of despondency from the two of them.Lynn introduced some aromas and oils to them both, but it was Dolores who took a greater interest in the whole procedure (Levi was much more interested in having a cuddle with me and a belly tickle!) After around a 20 minute session with Lynn offering different oils, the total change in them both was clearly visible. Dolores was particularly receptive to the treatment and was soon up and about and ready to run round the yard (causing havoc and mayhem) just as she used to! Levi was more than happy to join in.
Later, as Lynn was leaving, Levi and Dolores came rushing over to her to say goodbye – they really seemed like their old selves. Lynn will be pleased to know that within minutes of her departure, they did their usual trick of getting into the Information Centre and going down everyone’s’ bags looking for treats!
Lynn will prepare a full report in much more detail within the next few days. Lynn will be working with our horses and ponies in the future and, if the “pig trial run” is anything to go by, I am sure it will be successful.In the meantime, Lynn, it was an absolute privilege to watch you at work and thank you for coming to the aid of our naughty piggies. The most wonderful thing about today is seeing how the animals interacted with you; they know a person they can trust a mile off! If anyone would like me to put them in touch with Lynn for further details on her brilliant work, please email me at administrator@ehpps.org.uk. The process really does make a difference – and I’m one of the oldest sceptics around!
