Just reading another thread and lots of people are mentioning their hobbies (though not saying what they are)!

I want a (non sporting) hobby!

So please tell me about yours. I am pretty sociable so would like something that is sociable in nature. Only caveat is that I don't want to do a sport.

Sorry it's sport, but not as you'd expect. I referee for a sport. Love it. Variety of people and places but get to know everyone on the circuit. Key thing is I don't actually have to get all hot and sweaty.

Beekeeping

I have other hobbies but they're more solitary.

Do you network with other beekeepers, or are you regarding the bees as companionship? Just curious...

  • I crochet squares whilst watching TV, they turn into rugs I donate to charity and a hospice. Normally I get wool from charity shops fairly cheaply.
  • Garden- growing veg and flowers
  • I enjoy cooking and like trying new ingredients and recipes
  • Not really a hobby, but when watching TV, I often google info about the actors, info about the film like cameos they made, filming locations etc. I feel I have alot of quirky, useless facts about music videos, actors etc.

Oh I see it needs to be sociable

Drinking wine with other people Wink

Drinking wine with a mate, and doing a hobby too, is fab as hell. I meet with my friend for wine and craft nights.
