Finally feeling better

Hi all.
Hope you are enjoying a good Easter, weather is pretty good in the UK. I know lots of you will be out enjoyingthe first BBQ or maybe flinging a few arrows.

I just wanted to share a quick update on why I’ve been so quiet on here and podcasts.
I’m finally beginning to feel back to normal health wise. I’ve been under the weather for a few weeks. Coughing all night, so not getting any sleep and exhausted all time, lost voice has too.
Weird thing is I’ve yet been testing negative for Covid for over 2 weeks.
Doctor has me on antibiotics and steroid treatment which seems to have helped, especially with my asthma.

Been feeling pretty low as this is second time in last couple of months I’ve been under the weather.

I’m hoping to get back to writing & podcasts soon. Let me know if you have any questions.
Stay safe everyone, there are loads of people I know who have been suffering from poor health.

Thanks for reading

Some of you may have noticed there haven’t been as many articles on the website or recent podcasts. The truth is I’ve been struggling with motivation and creativity. Some of my planned topics have not come to fruition.
For this I’m sorry and it it’s made me feel pretty low as I did have a few things in mind but as I said they haven’t materialised.
I’d like to thank those who have been supportive.
Thanks for reading, stay safe, stay well.

Off the Arrow Shelf Podcasts

As many of you will know about 6 months ago I started producing podcasts having been inspired by others in the UK and beyond. Mine are aimed at supporting field archery in the UK. I now have a back catalogue of some recordings so I thought it a good time to start promoting them.

In the latest podcast I try and answer a followers question. Thanks for reading and listening
