Sounds like you lead a busy life Trace. Barry.

Singing & listening to music Reading Spending time with the children cross stitch now and again watching Casualty and Holby ( I usually tape these and watch when I'm doing the ironing)

hi barry obviously i dont do them all at once, i play darts and pool every other week for my local,but my daughters football training has taken over most things now she trains 3 times a week and its not me pushing her its her making me go in all weathers tracy

Hey everyone I love taking pictures with my two cameras. One digital and the 35mm. I also like to watercolour. Computers and I also like carpentry. Neil

Hi NEIL, I too enjoy photography, went to college and gained a City & Guilds diploma, but my first love is fishing,both sea and freshwater. Barry

I don't have much time or energy during the week, after work, but at weekends, a friend and I go to point- to-points (even though we're both against fox hunting), or watch hill climbing (cars going very fast uphill!) If. like today, the event is rained off, we trundle around looking for nice pubs in quaint villages (oh the glory of not being able to drive). In the summer we go to village fetes, which inevitably ends up with a visit to the local pub. (I think I will call that 'exploring the English countryside'!) Sometimes go for long walks in the New Forest. Also enjoy gardening. DIY and sitting still doing absolutely nothing but listening to a good programme or play on radio 4.

Hi Baz, Photography, walking, horse racing, music, films. Used to ride horses some years ago when I was growing up.

I love reading, listening to music. We have won heaps of CD's from the radio. Watching dancing, Tap, Jazz and Ballroom. My 12 year old does all those. Sometimes we play the piano. Go down to the beach nearly every day with Chloe (boxer dog). Hav coffee mornings with the 'girls' and occasionly lunch too. Of course being on the internet. Housework goes on the back-burner on a lovely day. I bake in the winter. Try to do cross-stitch too. We all love jigsaws and movies. Mags xx

I see there are quite a few cross stitchers on here lol. Cross stitch and reading are my main hobbies apart from being online but I dabble in a lot of stuff from antique hunting to digitabulism. I also enjoy a few drinks at my local and watching a good movie when I get time. Love music of all sorts and couldn't really pick one type. Lou

collecting thimbles. M.

Gardening, reading, Eastenders,Casualty,Holby City, computer. music of all types., cooking, dancing and charity shops. Tom is the clever one who can do all the crosswords, even hard ones and finish them. Norah

Being left handed I never learnt to sew, stitch, tapestry, etc.. I am useless at baking but love cooking exotic dishes. Reading, Music of the 60s and 70s. Camping, but don't do much of that anymore. Fishing, but not sweet water. Potter around in my bit of garden. Take long walks on the beach. I can't wait for the summer! Lindy:-)))))))))

Once again, Many thanks to all of you,for replying to this thread. I think I can safely say,that the traditional arts and crafts, reign supreme. Barry xx

Terribly un-crafty - although artistic talent runs in my mum's family - must've missed me out. Reading and watching sport on the TV or in the flesh are mine. Mainly footie and cricket thanks to my dad, and golf thanks to hubby. Maz. XX

Maz, Can`t really see you sitting there knitting..LOL Baz

Valley, How do you find the time ? Baz

Lindy, Long walks on the beach,,,I`m jealous. Baz

Funny you should say that Baz ... when hubby and I first got together - about 16 years ago - I started knitting him a jumper. Now, before that I was quite a good knitter, nothing too complicated but I got it done. Anyway, thought I would knit him a nice manly Arran Cable sweater. Well ... I have finished the front and one sleeve and am nearly to the top of the 2nd sleeve - only the back to go!!!! Have told him it may be ready by the time he retires!! Maz. XX

Baz - my garden is totally clay as well - might even try it out. Talking earlier about the local and/or a bottle at home,well this evening we had a power cut and we thought we ought to check up on the elderly neighbours, the oldest who is 83 got her candles out and HER bottle and invited us and another neighbour round,we have just got home!!!!:o) Jude
