I need a new hobby and I need inspiration. Wondering what others do for downtime?

I ride my horse, and also play cricket for the local team. I'm 52, so I also like radio 4, knitting, and jigsaws 🤣🤣. I'm going skiing on Saturday 😁

Lots of book related stuff with me - I work in a charity bookshop, organise a local book exchange, read books and also write reviews for a book website. I also run a writer's group.

I coach a junior football team and collect different kinds of rocks with DS, then enjoy bashing them with a big hammer to see if there are crystals inside Grin

Cooking and reading about food
Reading books
Dog agility ( although I sometimes get stuck in the tunnels Wink)
Learning French
Swimming, yoga and Pilates ( I try to swim and do a class at least once a week)
I’d like to say gardening but I’m really bad at it.
Planning holidays and travelling. Skiing and snowshoe walking on winter breaks. We love alpine walking, summer of winter.
A friend and I go to the theatre, art house cinema, exhibitions etc together once every month.
I try to take my kids to interesting shows, museums and exhibitions.

It feels nice writing them down and realising I do have quite a few interests. I feel like I spend 90% of my life working, ferrying my kids about and watching Netflix.
