After so many years of retraining and study I am wanting a hobby just fr fun. To learn a new thing. So I am thinking a florestry course and and/or art evening classes.
What hobbies do you guys have just for fun. Stuff that doesn't link to your working life as such.

No extra animals for me. Just good clean musical fun from now on. I'm making leiderhosen out of the curtains as I type.

If they're 'song-trousers' that would be liederhosen. It seems unlikely that you have leather curtains for making lederhosen.

if you go for the art class route the skill specific classes tend to be better for recreation than general ones like a gcse.

print making is rather fun and very diverse in methods so whatever ones abilities a good result can be achieved.

My first job was as a printmaker. I loathed it in the end
So of my diverse qualifications one of them is a silk screen printer.
I also did A-levels in Art, Art history and Photography. I don't use any of them anymore and miss them.

I'm going to get the language CDs out again at some point and revisit learning Spanish.

And I'm going to build a model railway.
