Probably not lol, not very attractive. With you being a shotton lass you could cement the garden gnomes into the concrete so the locals don't nick them!!!!

 

Only joking I've got a few friends over peterlee and they are always joking on about watch I don't get mugged for my shoes in the bus station when I come to visit them

just a quick update as some of you will know I lost a few young uns off the back of the loft while trying to settle them and stevebelbin on here kindly gave me some latebreds as replacements. Heres a few pictures just so steve can see how the birds are getting on. Got two of my orginal birds settled but the red grizzle redfox hen is playing silly beggers again and has nicked off.

finally got my cabin how I like it nice and tidy with baskets and all the equipment. Need to get basket sorted out its a old shepherd basket works one bit tatty now and needs revanished and a few broken bits fixed. Anybody know if shepherds is still in business?

 

Need a few cans of beer in the cabin lol Heres my loft coat too tight to buy a proper one so am using an old german army coat need something a bit warmer for the winter thro freezing down there this morning you back garden flyers don't know how lucky you are. Also got all the new fence up and that starting to look nice now still got a couple of tonne of top soil to move. Heres the old club my dad used to race in rumour is it is going to be closed down and demolished, hope not as there is a bit of history there. Theres a chinese next door and all his pigeons sit on the roof all day pulling other peoples down on it so that club has caused a lot of swearing as well

Heres my grans garden she's 84 and still horseriding, henkeeping etc proper country woman from farming stock. Think she got the better deal with her garden its massive and has a good view of the valley, ideal pigeon racing garden only prob is a old bloke has the garden in front and keeps 30-40 tumblers which he lets out on race days so the garden would be a bit awkward for young bird racing.

 

Still should do for a few bantams and then get some top soil in and turn the rest into a veg garden

The chinese guy near us used to buy any meat going duck,hens, geese etc from allotments, and foxes, rabbits, hares from all the local poachers. Fox is supposed to be a delicy in china I wouldn't fancy any thro yuck.
