Baz - how could l what??? If you are referring to the neighbour, the other evening she invited us over and we had champagne(is that spelt right) and brandy. They have all got more energy than us and are such fun:o)

Hi All, Many thanks once again,to all of you for contributing to the thread. There`s too many to answer individually,so again,many thanks to you all. Welcome to the boards, Cindy. You would also be welcome on the `Chat` board. Barry XX

Welcome to the message boards Cindy! Well I enjoy anything arty and crafty, but particularly enjoy painting - any medium - any subject - at the moment it tends to be flowers using watercolours, and a 'wet in wet' technique. I also enjoy doing very detailed pencil drawings of cats and dogs, from photographs. My other main hobby is handbell ringing - our village has a handbell ringing group which I've belonged to for almost 3 years. I also enjoy compiling quiz sheets for local charities to use in their fundraising efforts. I get a bit fidgety if I have to sit still for too long - can't do nothing, for example - so I compile quiz sheets when I'm on holiday and my husband wants a relaxing day on the beach! So ..... if you see someone with a 'brainstorming' pad and a dictionary, chewing on the end of a pencil and staring into space ..... it's probably me!

Swimming, going out, horseriding occassionally, travelling and basketball. Amie

Hi Archery and cross stitch and gardening. Sue

Hi All ! This is my first post on the message board. I am a scrapbooker and cow collecter :D I'm not a fan of pubs, but hubby is a pom and loves his beer, so I humour him and go along anyway LOL. He also loves his Capri and his models have taken over my display cabinet so there's no room for my cows to moo-ve back in ! Cindy Melbourne, AU

I forgot to add we love 4 wheel driving, over the hills, yippee. But sadly we had to sell our beloved nisson safari a couple of years ago, needing the money at the time. Hope to buy another then we win 'lotto'. We have a radio-controlled car too, which is alot of fun. :-)))

Valley, Can`t stand the tele either. JUDE,, How could you. Baz.

MAZ,,,,,Chuckle.

Baz - my garden is totally clay as well - might even try it out. Talking earlier about the local and/or a bottle at home,well this evening we had a power cut and we thought we ought to check up on the elderly neighbours, the oldest who is 83 got her candles out and HER bottle and invited us and another neighbour round,we have just got home!!!!:o) Jude

Funny you should say that Baz ... when hubby and I first got together - about 16 years ago - I started knitting him a jumper. Now, before that I was quite a good knitter, nothing too complicated but I got it done. Anyway, thought I would knit him a nice manly Arran Cable sweater. Well ... I have finished the front and one sleeve and am nearly to the top of the 2nd sleeve - only the back to go!!!! Have told him it may be ready by the time he retires!! Maz. XX

Lindy, Long walks on the beach,,,I`m jealous. Baz

Valley, How do you find the time ? Baz

Maz, Can`t really see you sitting there knitting..LOL Baz

Terribly un-crafty - although artistic talent runs in my mum's family - must've missed me out. Reading and watching sport on the TV or in the flesh are mine. Mainly footie and cricket thanks to my dad, and golf thanks to hubby. Maz. XX

Once again, Many thanks to all of you,for replying to this thread. I think I can safely say,that the traditional arts and crafts, reign supreme. Barry xx

Being left handed I never learnt to sew, stitch, tapestry, etc.. I am useless at baking but love cooking exotic dishes. Reading, Music of the 60s and 70s. Camping, but don't do much of that anymore. Fishing, but not sweet water. Potter around in my bit of garden. Take long walks on the beach. I can't wait for the summer! Lindy:-)))))))))
