Dear guys 

      just joined the forum and first I thought id share a little about myself.i got prostrate cancer diagnosed in 2021 February, this was on top of my 2021 mishap of having two fingers ripped off my left hand at work.In all it was nearly 4 years of strife and battles with amputation and cancer.Well I am thankfully still here to tell the tale, and that's a testament to the care I received from both sets of therapists and surgeons, not to mention the great nurses.I am happy to share my experiences the ups and the downs with anyone interested.Each and everyone of use has a story to tell.During this time I have also written a book ,related to my hobby and passion ,its called BACK TO THE FIELD. As I fly birds of prey and have done for over 50 years.I am now trying to get a publisher to help with the final process of the book . There's plenty of pictures some graphic , especially my fingers, I have written about mental stress and everything that goes with these two scenarios. The down times and the actual fun times ,yes there was laughter.I was wondering if it would be possible the put extracts from my book on this forum..thanks William

Hi again William.

I loved the film Kes.

We have a conversation where you can post anything you want really. It maybe an ideal place to post tales from your Back to the field.

Hi  I would be interested to see exerts from the book you have written maybe ask the administrators first 

Also have you ever considered creating a Community Interest Company involving birds of prey therapy and nature  especially for young people struggling with mental health there are grants available you may even get a publisher I just looked and there are quite a few already here is one for example
