14.01.2022 Helga’s new game. If you have sound on you’ll hear her little self-satisfied grunt and note the wagging tail. I think we can safely say she likes her new home. #happyasapig #apigcalledhelga #vegan

11.01.2022 Helga and I are VERY excited to have Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga longlisted for Booksellers Choice Adult Non-Fiction Book 2020. We both wish we could come to thank every single bookseller for their support... but sadly acknowledge that muddy excitable pigs and bookstores arent really a great match. So... virtual snout kisses to you all. THANK YOU. #booksellerschoiceaward #apigcalledhelga
11.01.2022 Welcome to the family, Waynie Lee Curtis and Miss Willow. We’re so happy to have you. Just remember that the pig’s the boss and all will be grand. #afarmfullofgoats
11.01.2022 A few weeks ago I posted a video of Helga happily collecting clumps of grass I thought it was a game. Today, I discovered her fast asleep on an enormous, full body-sized grass straw bed that she’d painstakingly built for herself. Pigs are more than your breakfast bacon. They’re fiercely intelligent, resourceful, seek comfort and love scratches and cuddles. My life is richer for having you in it, Helgy. #vegan #apigcalledhelga #pignotpork
11.01.2022 Amazed at my daughter’s strength and agility (clearly doesn’t get it from me). I’m so proud @lucy.hunterland - this old softy had a tear in his eye. Must have been the smoke machine, honest.
10.01.2022 Pigs love to lay snout to snout. This is Helga at her most relaxed. #apigcalledhelga #vegan #myhappyplace
10.01.2022 I just love my new terracotta piglet given to me by Helga fans Tony & Russell. Thank you both so much, it was lovely to meet you and have you stay with us at Block Eight. I shall name her Helena Rubinswine. #apigcalledHelena @boomersbeachhouse
09.01.2022 New human swing down at The Farm... and someones keen to do the pushing #apigcalledhelga
09.01.2022 Heres a little video I did for the incredibly supportive teams at @harryhartogbookseller Green Hills & Kotara whove hand-sold a squillion copies of my book. This is for them to promote local authors. Helga clearly hates the limelight. #apigcalledhelga #poorJeff
