Dear Pigeons Friends,

This Year was a very hard year for me and My Family... At 11 March 2018, my dear wife and great love 'Leny', who I was together with for 43 Years in great harmony, is suddenly passed away by a head bleeding (aneurism). Pigeons and all other things on that moment, and the months after this, are have no place in My mind and all days life anymore.

I have decide even, to basked the pigeons in April and later, but Mt brain was not fresh You understand, and not busy with the pigeons.

Because of this, I have found, that the results My pigeons however made, as a little miracle.
I have get the feeling, that it must be, My dear wife Leny was helping me from heaven to made life nicer for me. To let You understand, I have start with 23 pair race pigeons in total on My loft, same as all Years ( I have a loft with 24 breeding place boxes) and the results are;
