Yes Neil, going to go it's been overcast at the moment so just waiting to see if the sun is trying to break, will only keep them short again maybe 10mls.

Not ideal today
Warm enough but not loads of blue
I was lucky I was able to stick the drinker on my hens in the van and first bit of blue I had them out

Good luck if you get out today mate

Superb mate, but I think this will be my last Caribbean now. I’ve done it 5 times in the last 10-12 years now

Early June I’m in Dubai, late June in Italy then August in Scandinavia before Madeira in November.

Yea, the Italy one wasn't exactly part of the original plan. That came along later due to a family wedding

I'm gonna hand in my retirement next November.

I'll be 56 then and I don't wanna travel long-haul as an old bloke. I wanna do it whilst i'm still fit and mobile. So I reckon do a bit of travel for 4-5 years then I'll be staying nearer to home. There's not much of the world left that I haven't seen that I want to see.

Looks to be nice early evening hopefully get out then
The cocks will be priority now every sunny day and the 7 hens will have to just fit in when I can after losing the weekend with rain and mist
Saturday looks another wet day so after work it is even if very short to the clocks change

Desperate men take chances Neil - and you aint desperate

That’s a pain for you Trev but I know what it’s like you can’t do much when the hens set on your loft to she goes to nest
I had a peregrine hit my hens from training Friday I have one with her secondaries missing and one missing
I just finished putting the hens in baskets now to go north I hope to have hem up about 630/40
It’s a pain as just taking them 12 miles south to work was saving me the job of going north before work then driving back to work but the strikes put me off that route
Still another two weeks and training over for the cocks and hens will just get one a week to keep them ready to replace a cock in the team

It's a bit nipply today
