I waited tae 5 before i went, the visibility across in to Hamilton was poor up to lunchtime so i left it to late before going, had a good toss right enough. Goes to show us we never know what hits them!

somitt must have run into them on route home as they made the correct decision to hold till 2 pm and could not have got it better all afternoon after liberation

In fact what sealed it for me was, i went to Carluke for feeding this morning at 11.30am, on ma way back a batch of about 30 were going along beside the car at Waterloo, they were getting driven into the pylons by the wind, now they were doing Forsbery Flops and all sorts but fortunately none came to grief. It was then i decided i was waiting 'til later on the day.

 

But your right fae 2 onwards it was ok

Sorry my bad

 

hes awfa greedy this Hodgson fella :P

 

My memory is rubbish just now. :rolleyes: A few weeks back a guy was speaking to me , he's originally from 'borders' now living in Falkirk area, he'd seen my basket of doos and it brought back memories: sorry his name escapes me but he is the son of a 'Racing Pigeon' scribe 'W' rings a bell, been writing for them for years, maybes covering the borders? The son raced a few pigeons as a boy and because they were neighbours he was always around the Hodgson loft, don't know if it was the Annan or Kirkpatrick-Fleming one, but Mr Hodgson let him time 2 of his National winners, something he said he'll never forget.

I'll bet he could tell a few cracking stories!!!

 

Am I right in saying uncle Louis bought a lot of John Hodgson's top doos?

Must be Jammy Donaldson or John McNeil, but as Hoody says, it all depends on size of section <_< so its unfair to compare.

 

 

Davy Rose had quite a few sect wins how many not sure but must be up with them
