Ok well this is going to sound really boring but I'm seriously thinking of taking up jewelry making. Just simple stuff, glass beads and stuff, then maybe take a course in silverwork, but it's something I've always wanted to do. Keep my fingers busy in the winter.

Once I finish the groundworks (need to build a low retaining wall), I will be hopefully getting started on growing lots of fruit and veg. Already made a start on the fruit, with a plum & a cherry tree planted, along with blackberries, gooseberries, blueberries & rhubarb. More to follow, and should save loads off the food build & get me a bit fitter with lots of digging.

![]() Sport climbing in Sardinia was one of the best trips I ever went on. ![]() If you get the chance, there are some amazing places in this country well worth checking out. The Peak district, Tremadog when Snowdonia is rained out, Baggy Point and of course if you are just passing through, Bristol has a multi pitch inner city crag called Avon Gorge. ![]() |

Rollerblading/skating's great fun, hope you enjoy it!
![]() I've been doing a spot of off road riding recently, which is a mixed experience. Although fun, it's a bit frustrating being quite so crap at something again, and also hurts when you fall off - especially when it involves a face plant into a gorse bush! ![]() From this i have learned that if you're going to be crap at something new, choose something where you can hide at the back of the class, and not a hobby where you have to enlist the help of several others to come back and help retrieve your bike from aforementioned bush... ![]() Having more success (and fewer bruises) with yoga and pilates - you're already on the floor AND they have mats ![]() |

High Wycombe sports centre hosts Rollermania every Friday. My daughter had a go a couple of years ago and we got her some blades when she liked it. My wife got bored stood watching her have all the fun so got some blades too. And not to be outdone I got some skates soon after. Two hours most Friday evenings being shown up by a bunch of spotty herberts who literally skate rings round me. Good exercise though. See if you have something similar in your area as it's a flat smooth surface (sports hall) rather than tarmac or concrete and a good way to learn before heading off to wobble round Hyde Park. Oh, and buy some wrist guards - falling over can easily break your wrist, as sister-in-law found out the hard way. Enjoy!!
