ON SUNDAY MARCH 26, I was up very early - 4.30am in fact - and it was certainly not helped by the clocks springing forward. I picked my brother Alan up at 6.00am, loaded our stand into my estate car and headed off to the Newark Show and Saie.
My outward journey to Newark is about 125 miles, which is similar to my trip to Stafford. Out of interest, I checked the distance between Newark and Stafford and was surprised that the two famous bird sales locations are 70 miles apart.
There were plenty of very nice-quality birds onbut before I could make my mind up, another buyer who obviously knew that they were good-quality birds snapped them up.
