I like DIY and have to say I'm a very good decorator/painter. Sometimes I wish I had taken the plunge and set up my own business many years ago. I had the self finance to get me going but never took the brave step in doing so.
One of my big loves was and probably still is, given the chance, photography, be it wildlife/ family/ historical so I feel this is my next aim to get back into this asap. Still have all my gear sufficient to fulfill my needs so yes why not, I'm sick to the back teeth of late of decorating my home, I need to get out more.
