Copied from Facebook 7/8/26 The" Helter Skelter" of young bird racing is upon us with Lanarkshire back at one of its favourite race points "Wooler" in Northumberland around 75 miles back into lower Central, Scotland. The weather this week has been very changeable and unpredictable with part of the country continuing with high temperature and other parts receiving heavy rain. But we soldier on with the programme provided by the membership. The numbers were down by 1,300 birds on last years first race entry, showing the issues fanciers are facing with their pigeons. The convoy controlled by Paul Macaloney were released at 10 30 am in a west wind, which is a head wind of the birds flying back into Lanarkshire from the east side on England with heavy showers possible on route. The winning pigeons hit the boards after 1hr 59 minutes for the 77 mile journey. Three pigeons were recorded by Paul and Charlene Macaloney to record 1st,2nd,3rd North section, 1st,2nd,3rd Open federation from 1,531 birds. What can be said that hasn't been said by myself about this fantastic pigeon fanciers. Charlene has been very much hands on under the guidance of Paul and has developed a unique bond with her team. The winners are all G/children of their super new strain out of Miss Golden Blizzard . That's 7 x 1st Open federations in 14 races, setting the standards that new records with every race they compete. Paul being Paul wasn't too happy with the overall team performance and im sure he will be out to rectify that in the coming races. The partnership sent 21 pigeons recording 19 in race time when many struggled with their returns. Well done to Charlene and Paul on another brilliant race.

Final update on Andy as today he was up at the crack of dawn to go and meet with his surgeon at RIE. Surgeon could not be happier with him. He was delighted to see him walk in and be sat in front of him. He didn’t think it was going to happen because of the state he was in when they first met that night. Heart in normal rhythm, ECG much improved with no pacemaker required, chest X-ray clear no collections of fluid at the base of his lungs and he require need drains. He did say is at high risk of endocarditis recurrence due to the dialysis line straight into one of the chambers, just need to remain vigilant and hopefully catch early if infection does get in. I am very proud of how well Superman has done, I have kept my promise to be right beside him and kicking his arse the whole way, today I fell like that part of my job is done and I can maybe go back to being his wife instead of drill sergeant. Take a bow Mr Burgess you beat the odds and have done a fantastic job of entertaining us along the way with your endless moaning, hallucinations and delirium and I’m glad you can’t remember very much about the whole thing 💪🏼❤️
