He's a house elf. He says his name is Boudewijnus. This fellow appeared all exhausted in our garden, about a week after a very old school building in the neighborhood has been demolished . He decided to stay with us, taking care of the house, fixing holes in the roof, catching mice and moderating the funkiness.

These house elves cook some tasty mice stew and minced mice pie; if you ever get a chance, give it a try. Oh yes, he's a passionate nudist but we're getting used to that.

Ad Astra Per Alas Porci.
This very rare breed of flying piglet recently landed in our garden. It's an adult piglet, they don't grow much bigger than this. Although they do not fly very large distances, they can comfortably feed on apples and acorns straight from a tree.

Ad Astra Per Alas Porci.
A bit of a technical design to ensure everything has enough space to move where it's supposed to.

Ad Astra Per Alas Porci.
Moving parts fit smoothly. Ready to start whittling.
