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

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

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

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 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

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

Sue, What`s GC ? Barry

All kinds of music-listening, singing and playing. The last 2 very badly!! Watercolour painting, sewing, pottery and most crafts. Reading anything, gardening and of course looking for dead people.LOL. I can only do the above when I'm not working, running a home, caring for a family and writing my dissertation, which is taking most of my time at the moment. Roll on the summer holidays!!!! Viv Oopps...Forgot photography, again, when I get some spare time!
