Layers of dust

While I was sitting by the PC last night downloading some patches for the games I'm busy re-installing, I found myself staring at a thin 7' bundle wrapped in calico cloth.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what it was- my longbow. I bit imy lip when I realised how long its been since I actually went out for a bit of a shoot... I used to go religiously, every Sunday morning. And then Transport For London turned my route into a "buses only" road for 7 days a week. A detour would cost me an extra 30 mins of travel time each way.. so I started making excuses not to go, and somewhere along the line I lost the plot.
My beautiful, prized longbow I crooned about endlessly became another dust gatherer in the Storeroom Of Lost Treasures.
I should be ashamed of myself.. as a matter of fact, I am.

I've made my mind up to put some targets up this week and get it and my arrows shoot-worthy again. And to renew my NFAS membership so I can get back into the woods!
