What a hectic few months it's been with moving house, busting a disk in my spine, copious amounts of birthdays and catching up with an endless amount of orders. I wanted to thank everyone who placed orders for their patience and I appreciate the understanding with the delays. We gut a few hiccups with our couriers at one point but we are now back up and running at 100%.

I recently had a good ol yarn with the Eippers on their Cold-blooded Contributions Podcast. For those that missed it, you can have a listen on Spotify and whilst you're at it, make sure you give them a follow. They've also spent a lot of time breaking down my ramble and have written up the episode which is available via the below link. If you're keen on bio-active setups, be sure to give it a listen and/or a read.

Finally, they've had and will have some amazing guests speaking about topics that haven't been touched on before. Keep an eye out for future episodes.

Thank you all again for your support!

Keep an eye out on the page for some big news, competitions and giveaways.
