When the weather gets a little bit chilly, This Little Pig plops its trotters into snuggly ugh boots, wraps a badly knitted scarf (first time knitter folks) around it’s neck and wades through the chill into the kitchen to make something warming. As the sun slowly creeps up into the misty sky, you may find This Little Pig happily dicing sweet plums, drizzling oats with honey and preparing to start another day with warmth and deliciousness. You may also hear This Little Pig softly singing to itself (or it’s friends Paisley The Greyhound & Matilda The Cat) “Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beeeauuuuutifullll dayyyyyy”…oats love being sung to you see (and so do Paisley & Matilda).
