A whizz through today's news reveals a few rural-related stories. There's the piglet that's been adopted by a Rhodesian ridgeback, the pears grow in the shape of babies in China and a new novel set in the Irish countryside in the 1950s by William Trevor. If you haven't tried William Trevor, he's well worth a look (his short story The Day We Got Drunk on Cake is simply gorgeous). He was interviewed on R4's Front Row recently - you can listen again here
