I wouldn't mind having a go at that.

With more time on my than usual, I been thinking about new things I would like to try/do.

I have always wanted to try Fishing, fly fishing that is. Walking up and down river banks and lakes, getting away from all the hustle n bustle, seems very relaxing to me.

I'd also love to have a go at Clay pigeon shooting, why ! I don't really know, but would love to have a go.

Sculpture is another one, and I reckon I'd be at that to.

Have anyone else ever thought about, or wished they could try something, perhaps a bit different to their norm.

Maybe join ...

A UFO group
Archery
Write a book
A Detectorist


Or anything else, or even a few suggestions that some might think......

I have always wanted to join an astronomy group but have never quite got around to it, despite the fact there is an observatory just a few miles away.

Re: I wouldn't mind having a go at that.

I tried fly fishing (fluff flinging ) - resulted in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Clay pigeon shooting - tried that too but you can't eat the clays.

Archery - tried that (ex's aunt and uncle were toxophilites that shot for their county team) but didn't see the point to it really.

I much prefer the more sedentary pursuit of coarse fishing.

You can do that from home, if you have binoculars or a telescope. There are sites on the net to help with identifying constellations etc.
You also need clear sky of course.

Fishing is out, too - well according to my neighbour it is.
His fishing club is closed.
He goes several times a week normally and he's got withdrawel symptoms.

AS a signed up member of the C.P.P.S. I am against your second idea of shooting.

Oh The C.P.P.S? is the Clay Pigeon Protection Society.

@ Tiffany and Mups....... I was thinking of things to do after this virus is gone.

realspeed I'm sure The C.P.P.S. is a worthy cause, which I would respect by no doubt Missing the buggers.
