Hello, welcome to the Europeans, your favourite European podcast brought to you this week from Munich in Germany and a pig farm in the English countryside.

Hello, Dominic in Deutschland.

Hello, Katie, in the pig farm. Which pig farm are you at?

I'm at a pig farm in Suffolk.

Oh, that's where my mum's family is from. It's very beautiful here. I've abandoned Paris for the weekend, everyone. I'm at a Hindu, what our American friends would call a bachelor's at party, because my dear friend Lizzie, who grew up on the same street as me is all grown up and getting married. It's very exciting. And we have rented a really charming barn in the English countryside,

but there's just one problem with it, which is that it's right next to a pig farm.

And you can hear this incredibly loud squealing over the garden hedge.

It does sound a little bit like they're being murdered.

To the extent where the owner sent us a text message to try and reassure us saying,

don't worry, it's not actually an abattoir. It's just a farm, which was a little unnerving, I guess, but apart from that, it's been absolutely lovely.

The lady doth protest too much. I don't really. No, it's been really, really nice. No, I was

talking about the farmer, not you. Oh, I see. You're used to me referring to you as the lady i am because i am a lady it was a literary quote katie
