What Hobbies? (1 Viewer)

[haganap]

Wondered how you all managed to fit so much in but then I did my list:

Travel in general, particularly getting to the Faroes which is becoming a challenge.
Motorhome travel and DIY additions.
The occasional cruise in the right company.
Fly fishing and sea fishing (boat) in the Faroes.
Premiership football, Manchester United season ticket holder.
Watching England Test cricket on tv and following the misfortunes of Surrey CCC
Theatre in London (rarely) and local theatre for ‘60’s gigs and comedy.
Walking the dog.
Internet surfing.
Growing easy fruit and veg, but hate gardening.
Tree felling and log splitting for the woodburner which keeps us in fuel.
DIY in the Faroes since we half inherited/half bought the house.
DIY at home when I have to.
Reading (fiction mainly but the occasional autobiog).
Drinking German wine.
Cooking and baking occasionally.
Wondering if I’ll ever have the room and time to get the OO gauge set up.
Continuing Mother’s collection of Midsomer, Frost, Morse, Taggart, New Tricks, Marple et al from tv onto DVD edited of adverts.
Following MHF which is taking too much time but is addictive.

Rolf, I have loved your posts, I have even shook your hand, and then you say that :Sad:
Oh dear?
Never mind Im sure you will get a refund

Oh and you and PP have that in common too.

So it's

Driving my Westfield

New hobby this year is going to be Track days with my son:thumb:

 

[buttons]

My size is not a clue to some of my less than recent hobbies but now I take things easy with a few projects rather than hobbies.
I’m living with Two women for a few months my ex and my present both lovely but leaves little time for real hobbies. You probably think that keeping one wife contented is a full time roll, you should try two. :Sad:
I have always had a strong interest in anything steam but not developed it into a hobby yet but I try to visit a few rallies through the year.
