It has certainly been mild, but a cold snap has started here now. Hopefully that will cool the cocks' ardour till breeding season.

But recently fountain iced over, Fish in the pond stopped eating and moved to the bottom, Rhubarb rotted with first frost, Agapanthas gone overnight, Begonias had to be lifted 2 months ago, Dahlias gone and lifted last week, Gladiolas gone 4 weeks ago, Grass stopped growing and had its last cut last month, Hedges turning brown, Daffodills still 4 inches under and the only colour is from the Winter Pansies and Polyanthus in my flower bed.

It begs the question: are seasons getting later? and should our race programs start later than were accustomed too?

you could be right tony it may have to happen in the future m8

[greenlands]

Daffodils/snowdrops through here,grass growing,it's bloody blowing a gale and freezing cold with it. :emoticon-0138-thinking:

Racing should certainly start later. early season can be quite bad at times. Don't know how it compares to the past and not having raced YB's, don't know if the season could be lengthened to cover a later start, but also this sort of thing would take organisation. If the Nationals were later, then the Feds might follow suit.

No reason why the young birds can't be flown when the old birds are over the water. :emoticon-0138-thinking:
