The Science of Deduction

I watched an episode of BBC's Sherlock earlier then I found myself on www.thescienceofdeduction.co.uk where our dearest Sherlock posted some "Hidden messages" by his secret e-mailer. Well, it's a shame but I couldn't solve the first two, then I checked the third and I remembered I've seen those symbols before... and I solved the mystery! And you? Can you solve mine? :P Hint: it has something to do with the place where pigs live.
Enjoy ;)

    Hmm...
    "WELL DONE DEAR
    PREPARE FOR
    SOME MORE"
    After the first couple of words I started to be able to remember the letters, this is quite easy! Once you get some letters right the rest is a piece of cake, but I was wondering if you could post a decoder? If this ever happens again it'd be so much easier to just compare with a picture ^_^
    With the first bit, I could tell by the repetitives that the first two words were "Well Done", but the "Dear" took me a while, since I didn't think that someone would use "Dear" in this situation.
    But after that, everything just came to me!
    Thanks for the fun :)

      You are very welcome! You actually left the word READER out but basically that's what it says. Glad someone actually took the time to decode it! :) The code is actually called the Pigpen chiper and it looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Pigpen.png
