Used to fly a Saker falcon for seven years

We used to go to Wick with Lanners and Peregrines, never had a hawk/falcon of my own but used to go out with a falconer on a regular basis.

Good grief another one. We had barn, little and tawny owls and did breed and release of barns in Devon.

My other main hobby is hillwalking; unfortunately the best time for that, Spring, is also the time when the allotment demands the most attention - roll on retirement!

Mmm, my OH is usually thigh deep in a peat-bog too, just when I need the most help on the lottie. I'm usually unceremoneously dumped in the nearest village and left to amuse myself in the Crafte and the Gifte Shoppes. And now the dog is getting a little too old to accompany him I can't even go inside and I have to windowe shoppe and sit outdoors when I have a coffee. And why, regardless of the weather when he sets out, is there always drizzle with snow in it before he gets back?

I've always wanted to try falconry and fishing though........jealous now.

Metal detecting and researching my Fathers birth village which ceased to exist in the sixties! Buying second hand books, (non fiction mostly)reading second hand books, selling second hand books on eBay.

I have loads more hobbies but these are the relatively 'odd' ones!

Fishing! Not an unusual hobby I know, but people seem to think it's odd cos I'm not a bloke! Everyone assumes it's OH's hobby and I go along to pour the coffee - wrong!

I'd LOVE to have a shot of fishing!!...but got no idea where to start. What a shame you're not closer...you could show me the ropes...so to speak!!

Just a warning - don't get me started I'm really keen! Couldn't be much further away really! We're off to Cornwall tomorrow for a week's fishing - the weather looks awful - but we'll have a brilliant time!!

Share a hobby with your OH - any hobby - can't recommend it enough! We've been gaining all sorts of new interests since the kids have all left home (you can read anything you like into that!)

I've got tons of hobbies...but none really unusual...apart from our ghost hunts! We enjoy visiting old locations, well after dark...to research...and terrify ourselves!! Had some great nights out....and very interesting results!!

I share EVERY hobby with my OH...(read in to that as you wish also!!!!) . I have been quite interested in the possibility of fishing since watching a programme on the 'extreme fishers' channel about women fishing at the seaside...it looked great. We're seriously considering having a go, but goodness knows how we're going to start up - don't really want to buy everything until I know for sure whether I can a) do it b) enjoy it!

freecycle maybe! What would one need to start at a VERY basic level??
