    I'm an amateur astronomer when the Sun goes down and enjoy taking images of the universe. image

    I take nature photos, some published, do cross country running, restore furniture from the sixties, and record fungi.

    Bob The Gardener, have you joined the site classifying galaxies? I found I wasn't very good at it.

    Pauline, when I was signed off my job with stress, the psychologist recommended that I do jigsaws.

    I like making anything from planters to birdhouses from old pallets, i love making anything really from things people throw away. I do a bit of web site testing and a bit of mystery shopping via my phone which can be fun. i have fits and starts in hobbies, sewing (i'm very lazy and don't do any pinning or tacking just machine it hehe) reading books, I do a lot of cooking and make special occasion cakes for family birthdays, I enjoy music festivals, going away in our motorhome, jam etc making

    Well Mike, my hobby becomes my lifestyle when it takes over and this is a sign too:: when husband comes in  at dinner and there is nothing like a meal ,but at least I have another  part done in rough for my journal. That's it for me, also when I can't sleep  for putting together the next bit (in .my head.)first things first image

    I'm a bit of a crossword junkie too Gina, and am also in the "glass of wine" group.

    Other than that I spend a lot of time visiting and studying medieval churches (for the history rather than the religion), researching my family history, and transcribing old wills and other documents for our local archive office. On a completely different tack I have just bought a new bike and am joining OH on local cycle rides. Did 30 miles round part of the Norfolk Broads last week - easy peasy cycling, visited 3 churches  and found a really good pub at Neatisead image - good day out!
