Any new hobbies/interests you are going to START once lockdown is lifted?!

[flappityflippers1]

So, what I mean here is - over lockdown, there has been bugger all to do aside from walk and walk and walk and walk

I'm sure lots of people have existing hobbies they can't wait to start again - but has anyone decided to try something new once we're out and about again?

New things I want to try (when we can):

• visit the ballet - I've never been and started watching the Royal Opera House rehearsals on YouTube during lockdown, I'd love to see a ballet now!

• Once per month make the effort to meet up with my friends for a drink/food. I have anxiety and it was always too overwhelming to actually make the plans and get out to see friends - I've worked super hard with my therapist during the last year, and now in a place where I can't wait to have a proper meet up with friends!

Your plans sound great!

I’d like to try beginners’ ballet or tap, mainly for the social side and fun. Or a knitting group as badly need some tips!

I’ve signed up to join a local netball team, they have competitive & non competitive members which is fab as I’ve not played since high school 🙈 but it’s a nice way to do some exercise & hopefully meet some people in the new area I moved to in December!

I also plan to try get to the theatre more. It’s something I love when I find the time to go but is something I don’t often think of booking unless it’s a show I’ve already seen & love & fancy seeing again. I’d like to go watch new things!

Good luck to you OP, well done for working through your anxieties & I hope you can really enjoy those dinners, drinks & the ballet! ❤️

I want to join my DC in their martial arts class.

Visiting my nephew. I didnt get to see her during the pregnancy . My nephew is almost 5 months old. I've watched him change through pictures and videos.
I just have my dad, brother , his partner and my nephew. It's been so difficult.

Flamenco dancing. was just about to start when lockdown happened, but hopefully they will be restarting asap - can't wait!

Love hearing what everyone is going to start!

Enjoy the time with your nephew @Torvean - there’s light at the end of the tunnel

Were thinking of joining a watersports club. We bought an inflatable kayak last summer. Upgraded to a proper 3man Canadian in September. We want the children to have some proper lessons, and fancy trying some of the other stuff like sailing and paddle boarding (with my sense of balance I think this will be hilarious!). I quite fancy open water swimming.
