Thread: O/T Hobbies Or Pastimes

    O/T Hobbies Or Pastimes

    I think most people on here are of an age where they might have some time on their hands,so not counting the Millers, do have a hobby or pastime ?
    I'm a record collector,got over 3000 albums, and I've got an old Jaguar which I love taking to shows.
    When I was a kid,like a lot of people I used to make model planes, about 10 years ago I started doing this again, and about a year ago I started making model cars,which given my love of old cars,I'm surprised I never did before.
    Made 4 so far,and just completed my first motorbike, a Yamaha Virago.
    What do get up to ?

    Fishing for me. Ex match fisherman but now pleasure fishing only. I make my own floats and did build a few rods . Coincidently, December was an amazing month for catching fish in my local ponds ( Oasis Lakes North Somercotes) Normally fish tend to switch off during the colder months .
    I have got a decent collection of mainly 60s music and due to the power of the web I have been able to source loads of previously deleted stuff.

    Golf (fine weather only though)

    Well, when I say golf I walk around with some clubs (and several balls). Sometimes the ball goes roughly in the direction I planned but often has a mind of it's own.

    Try to get a 4 mile walk/jog 3 or 4 times a week and just recently after treating myself for my 65th with a deck, amp and speakers rediscovering my vinyl collection (only about 200 albums though).

    Jigsaws or Lego for me.
    I’m colourblind so jigsaws are always fun.

    I have too many pastimes really. In the past I've restored a 1957 Standard 10 and a1968 Morris 1000 but had to teach myself how to weld and spray paint.
    These days love the gardening for flowers and a double allotment that keeps us in veg for most of the year. I'm also a beekeeper the clever little blighters never ceases to fascinate me.

    I find that I really enjoy gardening. I've started doing some metal work and this year I transformed a van into a camper van.

    Started baking old British puddings. Early days yet but the jam Roly poly and spotted dick are too tasty!

    Bradgate have you ever got stung from the bees?
    I would never harm a bee but I’m nervous round them.

    It is nice isn't it. Traditional recipe. I'd never steamed a cake before!

    Main hobby is watercolour painting. Until recently I supplied a gallery in my town and used to sell quite prolifically. Other hobby is based around my Morgan sports car.
