Helena needs to write more about Peppa Pig! An excellent and very funny piece.

I do enjoy all the articles you publish.

Wonderful article and very amusing, hopefully Mummy Pig won't be caught out by the Piglet Benefit cap the current government is proposing as I am sure Daddy pig doesn't earn enough. Fabulous drawings, is the first one Aunt Evie?

That show has many fans here.

A fine take on Peppa Pig, thank you.

A childhood friend who had his first grandchild a few years ago has become Long Island’s expert on Peppa and family. He’s a big tough guy and now he’s all knowledgable about Peppa and the gang.

I agree with you Lady Helena regarding sinking birthrates. I am one of six sibs, and we were considered a “medium” sized family. As a child, most of my friends and schoolmates were in families of 8, 11, 14, … mostly 12. A family with six children was considered small beer.
