    Would be a good idea setting up a lure on the field but it's usually sodden wet, as it probably will be tomorra cos it's been pishing it down all day. Might have a look up but I've got a car window regulator to replace ....

    Hi, I'm looking into keeping pigeons soon, I've tried to do some research but all the information seems to be from American forums or racing pigeons, so there's a few gaps in the breeding that I need to understand first. 1. Once a cock and hen pair up, do I put them into their own small cage away from the main (indoor) pen? 2. Do they still need to be let out whilst sitting on an egg? 3. How long do the cock and hen sit on the egg for? After this do I put the cock, hen, and newborn into the pen with the rest of the pigeons? 4. Do the same cock and hen pair up again and again, or wil

    We have 2 dogs with Argos, when we claimed when my beddy whippet got hit by a car a few months ago the paperwork was filled out straight away and payment received by the vet within a few weeks. If I remember correctly they operate as a front for Royal Sun Alliance which is canny reputable.

    Great show agaiin, good turnout and some hellish dogs. Good to see the organisers having parking on the field this year instead of along the roadside also

    Boysie replied to Frann's topic in General Talk

    She led the country exactly the same as Churchill did, which in times of war was a good thing, but in times of economic hardship was bad. Neither were fit to run a country in times of peace, given that both created civil wars within our homeland. Not a person to admire.

    About 9 days ago my 18th month beddy x whippet bitch was hit by a car, she suffered a dislocated shoulder and although it popped back in by itself straight away she now has nerve damage in her front left leg. When she is walking she drags the foot along on the knuckles/nails. Vet has shown us some excercises to keep the nerves active, ie bending each joint and stretching the leg, but I'm wondering what I can do to prompt her to put her foot down properly? I'm worried she will get used to walking how she is and the nerves will never repair. Edited to say: the leg from the shoulder do

    There is a whippet racing club that meets at Westerhope on Saturdays, they sometimes run lurchers so might be worth a look

    Has she only worked night?

    Started off a load of leeks, carrot and lettuce in trays on a windowsill above a radiator 2 weeks ago, about 1/3rd have germinated. Also some leeks and carrots in tubs outside, no luck yet tho. It was mostly leeks and carrots that did well last year, altho I don't have the space for veg that grows underground so I'm going to build some raised beds in the yard to give them a better chance. Had my name down for an allotment for years now typically they're now advertising for new tenants at the village where I moved from last year haha, only a few mile away like and we're chance to be moving

    Plenty of good spots near to hadrians wall, can't be too hard to keep out of sight under the cover of darkness, thought about it myself a few times, only half hour drive from whickham as well

    Looks amazing that. Out of curiosity, what are the general upkeep costs of a sheep + it's lambs until (and including) slaughter, compared to the price of a full lamb (in parts: leg, etc) bought from a average supermarket?

    I'm wanting to know what time meet starts, been to a few south durham meets and also fancy a change as south durham is further away than morpeth

    I'd imagine there are whippet racing clubs about, anyone involved in any lurcher racing or is there too much difference between each lurcher to bother?

    I started some leeks a fortnight ago, for the moment they're sat on a window ledge upstairs - plenty of sunlight and warmth, put them outside during a warm day to acclimatise. Will be outside permanently in a week or two (under cover in bad weather), then transferred into decent sized pots and left hopefully pretty much left alone until they're to be pulled up. Should be okay, threw a small handful of blood bone fish plant food once they broke the surface and they've shot up since. Not planning on starting anything else until March/after winter, except for garlic at xmas

    Terrible weekend for weather, some things can't be helped though

    Is 18" supposed to be the 'minimum' height to be able to catch a rabbit on the straight like?
