    I read (The Blue Zone by Andrew Gross is excellent).

    I design stuff but am not so good at completing it, where can i find the time ;)

    I make my own wine in winter [​IMG]

    I love to chat [​IMG]

    Hi ag!

    I garden and love my garden with a passion.

    I read, currently The Betsy by Harold Robbins, last one 79 Park Avenue by Harold Robbins, next one ... there's four more Harold Robbins to go ...

    I cook ... in the winter.

    I paint ... pictures not walls unless it's wall art.

    I sew and crochet and basically love all types of crafts and have all the gear for glass painting and leading.

    I have written three cookbooks (one printed) and am on my third children's book (unpublished).

    I love music and listen to it all day long (I don't watch TV). [​IMG]

    I love photographing scenery, which is what I like to paint.

    I love my cats (is that a hobby?) [​IMG]

    I AM a FIRST CLASS chatterbox ... [​IMG]

    I'm trying to spend less time on GC ... :D :D

    If I think of anything else, I'll do an addendum! :rolleyes:

    Good...good...good.... Hold that thought, miraflores! Lots of conversion and electrics to do here, as well as a new bathroom! And the engine on my Honda rotovator's in bits at the moment, too... We could even help there!!! So when you've a year or three to spare with nothing better to do, I'm sure we could find you an occupation.... :D :D :D

    P.S. Any good with a shovel? The swimming pool needs sorting out too!! ;)

    (Only joking... I think!)

    I can play keyboard acidentalgardner, however I am not a master by any means. I can bang out a few chords, so I'm not the old two finger player!
    Haven't got a keyboard anymore, so must be rustier than ever. Same as the drums, to whit I was not a master in either, haven't got room for a kit and then there's the neighbours to consider!

    Hi Paula

    My hobbies are pretty simple kinda like me :D

    Love being in my garden there's no place like it.

    I read an awful lot Stephen King,Anne Rice,James Herbert,Jilly Cooper even Terry Pratchett, I'd go mad without a book.

    Love going to the movies at least three or four times a week...but no chick flicks.

    Painting and decorating so much so I'm in demand to 'do' houses for others.

    DIY always got a plan for something.

    Love going to carboots/flea markets for a bargain.

    I sometimes knit and do embroidery.

    Love cooking/cake making although I'm the first to admit it's not always good.

    Listening to music and have always got my MP3 player handy, I am a bit of a rock chick although now more like an old hen than a chick!

    Love a good chat and of course a joke, well known for my smile and twinkle in my eye.

    And lastly a very strange one indeed...... I like to take pictures of war graves as a way to honour all the brave men and women who have paid the ultimate price for our wars over the years.
    Helen.xxx.
