Interests or Hobbies do you have or wish you kept going

[in a mo]

I play the guitar and sing ,I also collect Cd's songs and music ,when I was a lad I used to enjoy being in our shed and experimenting with my chemistry set I really wish I had been able to keep that going.
What are your hobbies and what would you have liked to have done or kept up.

I wish I had kept up learning to drive when I was 18. It cost 21 shillings for a lesson but I was saving for a holiday at the same time and realised I couldnt afford both. I decided again to learn when I was 36 in 1988 and it was then £9 per lesson and by the time I passed my test two years later it was £16.

I also had the chance to go to art school but my parents couldnt afford to send me, so I never really bothered any more. I am still quite arty and crafty but Im sure I could have made more of my career, if I had gone.

My main hobby is genealogy which I started about 7 years ago, before that when I was younger and fitter my hobbies were table tennis, lawn tennis, and squash. I still umpire at table tennis tournaments.

I wish I'd kept up playing percussion, one of the few things that, IMO, I had a genuine talent for!

I wish I'd learnt to play piano but no money for lessons let alone the instrument.

It woudl be such a difficult thing to do now that I've lost all of my patience, some of my eyesight and most of my co-ordination.

When younger I was made to have clarinet lessons. I hated it because at the time it was the most uncool instrument ever.
What a fool I was

One of mine is in my avatar now :)

I would have liked to have learnt to fly a (small) aircraft, but I never had the money or the time. That would have been my interest now that I'm retired.

I wouldn't call sitting down a hobby Chuck ;-)

I collect old books and love mooching around auctions and flea markets. I used to cast lead soliders and paint them lol ( how exciting am I?) but haven't done that for years now.

Have you visited Houghton Hall in Norfolk NOX? The owner Lord Cholmondeley has collected and painted lead soldiers and recreated the Battle of Waterloo! Its a quaint little place and worth a visit if you're ever this way.

I have a real interest in Bonsai, especially Satsuki azaleas, but I also have a house in France so cannot tend them properly whilst I am away - I have lost a lot.

I enjoy helping people less fortunate than myself, I do not want a halo but too many people take advantage of some people that cannot speak up for themselves, wish I'd taken up studies to be a Solicitor.

I used to brew beer, properly like - from malted grains and fresh hops. Did win a few local competitions and still have all the gear. Havent really got the time as it takes 8 hours to prepare it all.

Wish I'd continued playing the cello after I left school and continued playing rugby after I left the Army, though I maintain that interest by refereeing now.

I would have loved to try debating, didnt go to the kind of school that did that
