How many hobbies do you have?

**arpoet** · 16-03-2015, 07:08 PM

I am tired out just reading that lot.... Is that a classed as a hobby?

**cariann88** · 16-03-2015, 07:16 PM

You put me to shame with the amount of hobbies you have. I don't really have that many.

**Hazel at the Hill** · 16-03-2015, 07:40 PM

If I was going to be picky, Snadge, I'd have to group your list a bit (e.g. 20 doesn't really count as a hobby; 21 and 23 are similar, as are 5 and 24; and 6, 7 and 8

). But it's still pretty impressive nonetheless.

Mine can be summed up by:

gardening (allotment and in the Courtyard at home)
running (gym, swimming, races)
sewing (altering clothes, quilting)
cooking (and baking)
reading (mostly on holiday, as I am not allowed to read any longer in bed after a number of page-turning-till-dawn incidents)
wine making
doing jigsaws
crosswords - although only manage to fully complete the Telegraph crossword once or twice a week.

Mine is:

Reading,
Growing my own fruit and veg,

Sitting in the garden and watching the birds go by then at night waiting for the bats to come out, if that can be classed as a hobby

Got to disagree with you on 6, 7 & 8. Do you realize what's involved in fly tying.......its deffo a hobby of its own.

Like wise fly fishing delicately for trout is like chalk and cheese compared to ledger and float fishing and spinning for sea fish.I don't think too many fishermen combine the two?
I CAN see a similarity between fly fishing where you never know what you are going to catch (the adrenalin rush) and metal detecting which gives you the same adrenalin rush when you get a good signal.
