Rooster J. Cogburn Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Three weeks back I'd a team of champions;gleaming and ye couldnae keep them out the sky.This week it's been a miserable looking bunch that are reluctant to go by the front door for more than ten minutes at a time. Some wind I've fancier friends down in Berwick who have an open race scheduled for next weekend.Have to admit a few weeks back I was a tad envious they were starting soon,but not so much now "Winds out the East,the fish bite least"

You should try flying doos to the top of a hill in Avonbrig Andy Our loft is metres away from the highest point above sea level in the Falkirk district.When it cold its cold. Always 3-5 °C colder up there than it is in Falkirk town

peter pandy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 As you well know Lewis I stay in Fa'kirk and my little darlings have been given their liberty almost every day over the winter where they have been roaring about the sky for a couple of hours, however when I opened up for them to-day they refused to go. Yes its bitterly cold and some trainers have been going over this week poor beggars.
