Me, I love to paint landscapes. Oils, Acrylic and Watercolour. But these days I seem to be looking for the dead folk most of the time, just like most people on here. Sandra

Patchwork and quilting,cross-stitch,gardening,helping at a Primary school,and of course chaing the dead!! Don't know how I had time to work!! Ann,Darlington

Looking for dead people, reading anything and everything, gardening when in the mood, watching sport on the TV, watching Spurs (anyone into footie will know the difference lol) Maz. XX

Looking for dead people, looking for dead photographers (in my tree!), photography, watercolour painting, playing guitar and recorder (badly), reading (anything), not really a hobby but writing my dissertation for my degree. The first two things on my list take precedence over the dissertation!!! Cooking, gardening, folk and classical music and ornathology. Very interested in lots of things and when I have time/money try to do them all. Viv.

Jan Obvious really isn't it? Ann Glos

Hi Ann, Glad your daughter did so well in Archery, but am sorry to hear she no longer does it, its getting very popular in my neck of the woods. Sue

Ann Tuskers are elephants Jan

Jan What are Tuskers?? Ann Glos

Forgot to say in first msg Love cooking and I collect Tuskers Jan

Cross stitching and reading are my two hobbies, other than of course looking for dead people. My Mum sells cross stitched items at craft fairs though, and Ive been roped in to helping, so its becoming more of a second job than a hobby!

In what spare time this all consuming hobby of chasing dead rellies leaves me, my hobbies are: (in no particular order). Photography, making greetings cards (often using my photos), gardening, walking, collecting buttonhooks, letter writing (real letters posted snail mail), including three correspondence magazines (ask if you don't know what they are), cross stitch, although i am not very good and don't do it often. Going on holiday. Collect figurines - Royal Daulton ladies and Guiseppe Armani ladies. Collect three wise monkeys (although only have 8 as they are hard to find, mostly in brass). I did start to play golf but decided it was not for me, although I still have my clubs. Reading. For the person who asked, my daughter was Gloucestershire junior champion in archery but doesn't do it any more. She still has her bow though. It doesn't seem so popular, maybe because there aren't many clubs.

Come on I can't be the only Archer on here surely, lol Sue

Looking for my Ancestors, Talking, Scrap Booking, Card Making and Reading. Must admit after Genealogy my next love is talking!!!!!!, on the phone, face to face or even via the internet. Angie.

Looking for dead people, digitabulism (thimble collecting) and also sewing kits.

Dead People, Cross Stitch and gardening. Wow! I cant believe there are so many others with the same hobbies as me! Weird or what ? ! Sally, Coventry

Cat rescue and cross stitching. Going to the theatre when I can cause I live on an island. Cat rescue gives a lot of satisfaction.

Thats a good idea,one huge cross stitch family tree Jan

Right all you cross stitchers - we should do a joint project :-)

Lynne Thanks for your comment. Morris dancing always seems to get a bad press these days, but it really is enjoyable, and the people involved in it are as nice as the ones in GC! Also (like ballet dancing for men) people laugh at the thought of men waving hankies and dancing with flowery hats on, but it's actually very hard work if you're doing it properly!

Hi ,I would like to say I did a bit of white water rafting or some mud wrestling,sadly Im also a cross stitcher whitch I love and gardening and walking on Dartmoor whitch is only a five min drive from us. Its good to see that you all have other lives. Jan
