I love the sound of bell ringing, my sister, brother-in-law and my cousin's wife were all bell ringers.

And, further on my bell ringing adventures, I can now "Plain Hunt" from anybell, and know how to tring "Bastow Little Court" from the treble.

Not sure whether this is strictly a hobby, but I still do it for fun (so I guess that makes it count).

Never tried fly fishing, spent a fair bit of time drowning worms and other small critturs in sea, rivers and lakes, with varying levels of success

I was a very keen Fly Fisherman, then I brought a house next to a good Trout river the first couple of years were heaven then the novelty wore off and I have not fished for about 30 yrs

Colin, how can you forgo the pleasure of catching a nice brown trout and then cooking in on the riverbank over an open fire , with plenty of butter.

Have to agree there, in fact I won't eat any river fish as Colin says earthy or I would say muddy taste, and too many fiddly small bones, sea fish generally have stronger heftier bones you can easily find. Best fish to eat is sea bass.

I have eaten Dorado baked with herbs, while in Spain. Delicious. Not sure what its nearest relative is.

Thought it about time to update this, I'm nearing completion of the main station on the layout, I'm waiting for some parts to arrive from an on line seller before I can finish it, this is the parts placed approximately where they will go, testing for fit before I start joining them together, need a few tweaks here and there.

Hobby hunting at the moment. Will hopefully have some free time after Christmas. Shooting will certainly go as my master eye is useless. Any suggestions?

I mainly shot clays, but I have packed all my trophys away. Dust traps according to the wife. I would have changed to pistol shooting as I am a right handed pistol shot, but only criminals are allowed handguns now
