What are your hobbies?

[saxatablesalt]

Just that really. Turning 30 imminently and feeling a little bit like I'm just Mum, Wife and WorkBot right now. I've always liked writing but since I had my DC I've found it very very difficult to produce anything decent. Feel like I need a hobby which will be a part of my life that's just mine, and wondered if you have a hobby that you love - what is it?

Just to say, I can't drive so anything that involves having to drive anywhere is out.

Dog training and walking
Horse riding
Keeping chickens
Baking
Crochet

Luckily I have many hobbies! Finding time to do them is an issue, but i tend to find time now and again. Here's a list of some of my hobbies:

1. Witchcraft
2. Collect British Victorian Stamps and envelopes
3. Collect Welsh Porcelain from Nantgarw and Swansea Factories, and ceramics from the various Welsh factories.
4. Make silver and gold jewellery.
5. Collect fountain pens.
6. Walking and cycling
7. Photography
8. Fixing my Mg car
9. Painting Warhammer figures and making dioramas with them.

10. Watercolour and acrylic painting (though usually more collecting the equipment than actually paiting! LOL) Hobbies give you a few minutes by yourself, time to think and the opportunity to study.

Horse riding/owning - costs a fortune and is a complete lifestyle in itself so not for the faint hearted. A car is essential though, as is a big budget sadly.

I also keep pet chickens (Pekin bantams) - they are amazing, I love them dearly. They are not expensive once you get going.

Running
Cycling
Competing in events which involve running and cycling
Alternative parties
Making costumes for said parties (sewing; leatherworking; resin casting; moulding; metalworking)
Collecting single malts
Reading
Motorbikes - road riding and amateur racing
Fixing up Smart cars

It’s a mixed bag. You like writing - what about finding a local creative writers meetup?

Crochet/knitting (in winter only for some reason!)
Reading
Classical Guitar.I started lessons last summer aged 50 and I'm loving it and it keeps my brain ticking over too.

Vegan/animal rights activism
Dogs
Running
Classical music

Hello! I’m turning 30 this year too. It sounds so grown up. I’m lucky as I feel like I have quite a lot of time to myself, although always feel guilty about it as I ‘should’ be spending time with my kids (3 and 1)

I go to the gym 2x a week - stick the kids in Creche

Any craft

Watching Real Housewives 😄 does that count?

Have got back into reading lately which is sooooo good for my mental health! I try and switch to my book whenever I find myself on social media when ignoring/‘supervising’ the kids.

Pilates Sunday morning

My friend and I have just started a weekly exercise session - I have her 2 kids plus mine while she does a run, she comes back and has the kids while I run or go to gym. Could you do something like that?

I make cakes for a living so that’s a nice outlet

I’m really into sprucing up the house at the moment too, might try and get some enthusiasm for the garden too in the coming months - last year tried growing veg but it was hit and miss and a fair bit of effort! Very enjoyable though.

Studying - used to be Philosophy, now learning Italian
Music - trying to restart violin
Enjoying my dog and two cats
Vegetable gardening
Reading
Yoga
Running (well, waddling)

Oh, and cooking (at the weekend when I've time)

I love to go out. I’m not sure if it can be classed as a hobby but I go out to different places as often as I can.
Reading
Walking
And some kind of exercise like cycling or gym class.

Languages and Language learning
Reading
Future Learn courses
And I have taken up knitting again
I'll start Pilates next week ....
