More time to travel.

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.

Thanks George, my garden looks so different without the lofts, but i kept a decking part. Good memories from this back garden, that will stay with me.

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. 🥲

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.
