"With Distance in Mind"

Good evening everyone, just thought I`d write a brief one to keep you up to date with what's going on in the garden. We are pleased to say that the shoot season is drawing to a close with the shoot just happening at the weekends so since Tuesday we have been having the birds out again for exercise. John goes up the loft at 08.30 and cleans and refills the drinkers then by the time he has done this it`s light enough to start letting the birds out at 9 am 35 yearling cocks go out till 10 then from 10 till 11 the next lot of 35 yearling cocks go out then from 11 till 12 a section of yearling hens go out then from 12 till 1 another section of yearling hens go out then from 1 till 2 the last section of yearling hens go out then from 2 till 3 the first section of 2 year olds go out who are paired up now ready for next yb auction John paired these up on Tuesday.  Then from 3 till 4 the other section of paired 2 year olds, then from 4 till 5 our race team go out who are also paired as we will be underlaying the eggs from the Barcelona birds under these as we do not want them to rear yet Whilst these birds are out John then goes through section by section cleaning the aviaries ready for the next day,so as you can see now that the season is upon us again we dont see much of him, unless he pops down for a coffee,but he wouldn`t have it any other way,he really is in my mind the ultimate pigeon fancier wanting everything and doing everything to perfection,nothing stops his routine even now whilst he has a bad back he wont sit down he is up the garden doing this routine looking at the time so the birds are out the same time and in at the same time every day. As soon as I get our race programme I will forward it on to you all,exciting times are a coming !! Speak to you soon. As always. Take Care Lou.
