I too am a bookworm and I avidly do the Saturday Telegraph General Knowledge Crossword. I also like the Code Words as sometimes they are quite challenging.
My main hobby is birdwatching and have done this since my 8th birthday when I was given the newly published Observers Book of Birds by my great aunt. That was before WW2 so it has been a long time and is still so exciting. Only today I was watching a pair of Great Spotted Woodpeckers feed their three young on my lawn and they were there for nearing an hour. I was in seventh heaven!

I am also a bookworm. I love reading and can't settle at night unless i've read a good few chapters. I'm also a history buff and i'm researching my family tree.

I also like walking, trips to the countryside and music. I like animals too.
Lots of love

Definitely a bookworm. I also do a lot of counted cross stitch, but this generally has to be during the winter months when I can't garden as my hands get too rough and the silks shred. Yes, I do wear gloves almost all the time, but it still seems to happen. :roll:

The Telegraph crosswords too, particularly the cryptic ones, learning Italian and I seem to spend a lot of time on a particular gardening forum. :lol:

I fish for salmon and trout in the local river and also fish the sea as well.
Also like taking things apart and trying to make them work or function better.
Used to drive HGV's as a full time job up to a year and a half ago .Now I just do a load out at the weekend to Rugby to keep in touch with my mates.
