Hi I have a small boy (who is 6 today!) 4 guinea pigs and a whole heap of ancestors that keep me on my toes. When I do finally get a moment to myself I love to paint pictures and do gardening. Thankfully as I dont get a lot of time to myself I only have a small garden, which the guinea pigs help with, I never have to get the lawn mower out! Sheila x

I love flower arranging, painting (unfortuneately my hand doesn't seem capable of painting what my eyes see, but I still enjoy it. Family history of course and finding out about the places my ancesters come from. and all crafts

Photography, walking, letter writing (yes, snail mail and correspondence magazines) gardening, making greetings cards, occasionally cross stitch, family history of course (more an obsession than a hobby), reading, (took up golf but didn't have the time or the aptitude), going on holiday, collecting - buttonhooks, 3 wise monkey models, R Daulton ladies, guiseppe Armani ladies. I have dabbld in paining but not had time to really have a go. Thank goodness I no longer work. Ann Glos

I don't have a lot of spare time because I have ME and luckily I'm able to work part-time, but I do make my own greetings cards. I also did a qualification in Interior Design, so you can see I like all things arty! I play the piano and sometimes sit down for a while and toodle, but that's not very often! I'm also very interested in technology and think the PC is a wonderful resource.
