This morning I was sitting thinking ooOO "should I go to the allotment or should I do some piano practice ~~allotment or piano :-\ ....Which led me to think that I know you all love gardening/vegetable growing but what are your other hobbies! and what hobby takes priority!

Well the allotment takes up almost all of our time but we do have a koi pool at home and our house rabbits. I did used to paint but don't have the time now.

My other hobby used to be playing in a brass band. Left the band last Oct, which gives us more time for the Lottie. Have played since I was 6 and have never not been active in the movement until end of last year. Have to say I am quite enjoying the break. It's quite heavy going at times and very time consuming. Very good socially though and has given me alot of opportunities throughout life.

What with the allotment, this forum and drinking beer, there's not much time for anything else :-[

On the PC mostly blogging or here and reading, but only when I'm not on the allotment plotting, pondering or pottering!

Playing tennis, walking with the Ramblers, either in UK or abroad. Reading, jigsaw puzzles, knitting, rug making, crossword puzzles (in the winter) and entering competitions and never winning, live in hope. Looking after grandchildren, talking to the cat. Watching my seeds grow, and prodding them about too much. Listening to LBC whilst washing up (which annoys OH). Watching old episodes of 'Heartbeat', 'on the buses' and some programmes on TV. Enjoyed Rebecca. I think the allotment usually gets preference, but it is quite good to give it a break for a few days and then the plants are really grown (and the weeds).

I just love caravans. Nearly bought one when my mother died and left me some money. Caravans, greenhouses and tents are just so exciting. Clothes I find extremely boring, but everyone to their own taste. Wanted a caravan on a site near the sea, but a small site and couldn't quite find the perfect spot, also was a bit put off by the ground rent. The ones I liked were too far away from London where we live. Saw some lovely log cabins but they were nearly as dear as a house.

We've got a small motorhome so we like to get over to France and hopefully winter trips to
Spain.

Lots of motorhome events in the UK through the summer in between planting and weeding Allotment.

Julie's other half here (otherwise known as the bloke who digs :P ). Other than giving myself a bad back, I coach athletics, help out with my daughter's footy team and practice full contact karate (got my 2nd dan grading coming up). As for finding time for the lotty, now the mornings are lighter, I do an hour or two before work. Digging at 6am seems somehow more rewarding.....or am I just a little mad? ;D

Not a hobby, but just as enjoyable - I am a volunteer with a stroke group - run by the Stroke Association to help people who have difficulties with communication after a stroke. I'm the IT wizard, so spend a lot of time on line and helping people out who don't have antivirus software or don't know what Windows Updates are.

I also work full time (sort of) but as I work for myself I can more or less decide when to work, though the hours I can't change are when the weather is lovely and I would prefer to be on the allotment. I get free time when it's raining and cold. Grrrr.
