Nice pics mate

For me its obviously shooting but fishing ,drinking ,drinking and fishing at same time lol, tinkering with cars and engines ,just getting into photography well trying to

 

I fished for years and never had a 20lb carp, so bought the bivvy and all the trimmings and set about it. Managed 3 topped by a 24lb 4oz common, but the best part of the trip was as the sun was going down I'd pop open a bottle of red and sit there watching the bats taking the mosquitos... good times. Used to do 3 days at a time so, 3 bottles :laugh:

Not got any other hobbies as such now, only other apart from hunting I've had was golf, during a non hunting few years.......it became quite addictive(I have a mild addictive personality). But the more I walked around the courses, often lined with woodland & blocks of cover, the more I thought about hunting.....& the money was crippling lol. So I sacked it!

I pick up a guitar everyday, music is a big part of my life & I'm mad keen on cooking.......read as much as I have time to, used to be another addiction, but more moderate these days.....

Have quite a high maintenance garden with big trees & hedges........currently a decent herb garden, edible & smokeable....;-)

A 14 month old boy & 12 month old terrier keep me plenty busy during the day.....

& a bit of belgium beer in the evenings......:-)

 

Nice paintings....

Not really had hobbies just stuff I'd always done. This year I grew some veggies in a little patch and got the little un's involved and thats gonna be our thing for the foreseeable future, get to eat what you grow and teach the kids a few valuable lessons along the way.

i boxed a bit and played rugby and cricket years ago, also learnt guitar and love reading, but these days i dont seem to have time for much. long hours at work, a young family and livestock to manage at home means that every second is accounted for nowadays!

Before the season ended I lamped most nights till the lighter nights starting to creep in. Then I started meeting people out on the country lanes a lot . And wondered wtf they doing about at this time of night. So decided to follow one night and relised they were dogging. And from then on I had found a new hobby...now I'm finding it hard to pic up ma lamp and doing what I loved used to do.

Past hobbies, the ones I used to juggle around work... I played football till the age of 42, when I realised knocks and bumps were taking longer to heal.

 

I've had a go at radio controlled model aircraft, making and flying.

 

Used to cook a fair bit, and got p1ssed off eating commercial bangers full of crap, so started making my own using pork bought from a smallholding in Kent. I would buy half a pig and as well as an array of sausages, I got into dry curing bacon, curing hams and salamis, making brawn, home-made faggots are superb. Used to buy a lamb occasionally and would request the pluck to make haggis. Sometimes would buy some beef and cure it into bresaola. I've also made venison pastrami.

 

No wonder I'm fat

There's a Yorkshire lass that I follow on Instagram, Coral Rose, very talented artist that does a lot of dogs and country/sporting work. If you like art, check her out.

 

I try and keep in shape, lifting twice a week and running once. Also shoot work to do all year. House work seems like a never ending job.

 

Had a look at her website, very talented artist, must be very pleasing to get results like those.
