I was told by many people , I spent too much time with my birds when i had them. Well yes it was a 365 day sport, and i enjoyed it so much, time was not a problem for me. If i was needed to help out at home i was always in my back garden. If i was not scrapping out and cleaning the sheds. I would sit and observe the birds finding out more and more about each individual. I found this one of the most important tasks of the day.

Sorry to say those days have gone, i find myself wanting to travel more. So that is what i have done over the last 2 years. It takes away that feeling of being lonely without my birds. Yes you can watch videos all day long, but it's not the same.

Looks a lot different than it did on the couple of occasions we came up there.
I have some photos of your lofts mate but won’t put them up and upset you. 🥲
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Yes mate a lot different Andy, but the lofts are always in my thoughts. The lofts went to the young lad in Preston, so i still get time to see them.

So looking back to my final year of breeding, I bred 140 youngsters . I must say it was very hard going at the time, i think this is when i knew something was not right.
So i went to the hospital and after x rays and scans, they said I had ILD. But now its Fibrosis on my lungs.
