It’s taken three years for this plant to flower again! Can’t remember what it is but love the colours. #Gardening

After a couple of #archery competitions that didn't go so well, I've learnt to be kinder to myself.
When competitions get the better of you
Have you had one of those days when your arrows seem to avoid the centre of the target? My last outdoor competition of 2024 didn’t go as well as I hoped, with more arrows on the ground than on the target! As the morning went on, I was getting increasingly worked up. Frustration and annoyance were an understatement of how I was feeling.
