I Need A New Hobby

[kernowyon]

i have always wanted to have a go at the longbow, not the modern day fibreglass version but the real old yew bow.

in fact, that is now my aim for this year, sorry for the pun.

Debating, alternative therapies, book clubs, cookery - the world is your lobster!
Ipswich - hmmm - there's always trainspotting!

What could you mean???

Hang-gliding, parachuting, go-karting, off piste snowboarding, camel trainer..
Go on have some fun

You've missed nude underwater bungee jumping.

Matthew, there is a lovely place in Suffolk called Assington Mill, and they run all sorts of craft courses - even making buildings out of straw bales!! The numbers on each course are limited so you get plenty of personal attention from the tutors, its well worth it. We did the chicken keeping course with Francine Raymond.

What about gardening?
I thoroughly recommend it. Its outdoors, keeps you fit and supple (not always the case first thing in the mornings I know) you get to eat what you grow, or look at it if you do flowery type stuff.
Its brilliant!!

I'm taking a day course in willow sculpture next weekend. Hoping to make baskets, plant wigwams and much, much more as they say!

Why not photography??? You clearly enjoy being outdoors!

That's already catered for through my design company I need a break from it all

Until such time as you do - have a go at this:

Have a look at your local college and see what evening classes they offer?

DH is making himself a longbow at the moment, it doesn't seem like a very relaxing hobby to me!!

If I left my lottie fo Sunday only it would soon return to nature.
OK so I am retired but I need at least 4 days = 12 hours a week to keep it in order.

OK... Blacksmithing is out the window. The noise is now coming back to me, roaring fire and lots of banging. The neighbors hated the cockerels so they'll hate that!

It has to be woodwork My hidden past... That's what I studied, it was fun then, I'm not an accurate person anymore. I used to love rulers, calculators and try squares. I've made cabinets before

Back to the stool to stew on the idea

How about stained glass, Matthew? Look at Monty's programme on that one too. It looks really fascinating.
