Reading (we don't have a telly, you see), birdwatching, natural history in general, swimming and keep fit, knitting for small grandchildren (when they get to about 5 years old, it takes me too long and I give up!) and family history. I certainly don't know how I ever found time to go to work before I retired!

I used to have hobbies, now I have a 13 and an 11 year old child. :shock:

Still read books and subscribe to Car magazine.

Much the same as Peter I imagine, Chauffeuring, sitting through dancing shows, violin concerts, tennis matches, school plays, washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning. Mine are only 2, 4 and 9 though, so there are many more years of it still to come. :wink:

Swimming,a necessity more than a hobby, and I am a sea cadet instructor one night a week, theatre and music when I get time.

Oh bother, I forgot about the swimming. I don't like water much but as Compo says, it's of necessity and as I go three mornings a week (before I go to work :shock: ) then I suppose it's a hobby.

How do we find time to do the gardening? :roll:

I would say most of the above hobbies about covers it, but I do not do ironing :roll: I do not know if you can put the KG Forum under hobbies, but I cannot do without my daily fix this is the only one I subscribe too :D For me it makes me laugh :lol: makes me mad :x and cry :cry: but most of all it reinforces my belief that there are a lot of Good People about and long may it remain so :P :)


Best wishes & Kind regards

I hold a voluntary position with the local Lifeboat, paint watercolours (badly) and swim and exercise most days trying to keep fit. And when I come back to the UK people say "What do you find to do over there now your retired"!!!
Regards to all and good luck and thanks to Mr. PH.... Gerry.

I also have chickens and 9 North Ronaldsay sheep and I have kept pigs and am about to do so again. The sheep look more like small goats and keep me very amused. Last night my noisiest one, who is always laying the law down to me from the other side of the fence, told me in no uncertain way that she couldn't find a dry spot for her lambs and could she please go in the barn. All I said was - Oh OK Come on then. - and she was hurrying up to the gate to meet me. I opened the gate and my sheep were hurrying from all over the field, through the gate and into the barn, where they just settled down for the night. It was as if they had detailed her to make representation to me!

Jane, your sheep sound delightful. I have two chickens who do the same to me as they stand outside the door and bang on the catflap to come in the kitchen when it's raining. They've spent quite a lot of time indoors recently. :roll:
