I read recently in El Pais in English (a great source for English-language news in Spain, btw) that Driving over Lemons author Chris Stewart is taking a sabbatical from his writing for a year in order to tackle problems with wild boar on his smallholding in southern Spain. This is a problem I am familiar with myself (they stole my potatoes the blighters!) and it is one of the (few) downsides of living in a wild and beautiful landscape.

Still, nothing that good fences can’t fix. And in the spirit of providing counter-balance to the bad news boar stories I thought I’d share this little video with you. It was taken around midnight on the way home from dinner a couple of Saturdays back. The quality is poor but the awww! factor is high.
