Just wondering how other couples spend quality time together. What do you do?

Our kids are older now and he and I love to go on long rambles with our dogs. We explore public footpaths in surrounding villages with flasks and all weather picnics. We love spotting wildlife, particularly birds of prey. We're gone hours!

Also, our work allows us the odd weekday hour to go back to bed! In the middle of the day!

We're so rock and roll!

We go for brunch at the same place down the road most Saturdays or Sundays.
We watch box sets together and analyse all the details. We also never miss an episode of Eastenders -our guilty pleasure!
We go for lovely long walks to a lovely pub for Sunday dinner.
We go to the gym together.
I even have fun doing boring things like the food shop together.
Reading that it's quite clear that our lives mostly revolve around food Grin

ShatnersBassoon · 06/09/2017 21:11

Pub, pub quizzes, watching films, watching quiz shows, testing each other from quiz books in bed, reading crime fiction and picking holes in the plot and discussing at length what we'd have done differently to a) avoid getting caught and b) catch the criminal quicker, firming up our extensive zombie apocalypse plans, tidying up the pleasure spreadsheets. All the things that involve sitting down and having a drink and something nice to nibble on. We're awful bores, so it's a good job we found each other.

delilahbucket · 06/09/2017 21:12

We love to cook or eat out, go walking, listen to music and talk about artists we have come across, go to the cinema and go to gigs. A lot of things we do we like to include DS in.

Witchitywoo · 06/09/2017 21:17

Concerts, pubbing and awesome afternoon sex

becotide · 06/09/2017 21:17

Eat smelly cheese and pork scratchings whilst playing computer games in silence

Northernmum100 · 06/09/2017 21:18

Get drunk and play name that tune from the play lists on the Fire-stick. My OH's knowledge of naff music knows no bounds and I get thrashed every time

Babyblues14 · 06/09/2017 21:19

We used to go stargazing in the middle of fields, not done it for years now, not had a free night to do it on Grin
Also lying in bed and just talking for hours
