Re: My Hobbies

Just been down to Milton Keynes, to pick up this plane. It is an 84" span Cap 231, the engine in it is a 62cc Zenoah which retails at £315.00, the whole plane cost half of that. It needs the lightest of restoration (about an hour), just shows how long it has been since entering Northamptonshire, there is a whole new Bypass been built around Weedon.

Spitty! That's awesome! You wouldn't want to fly that if you've never flown one before. It would be too good to practice on, especially with a novice like me.... Wouldn't mind watching you fly her though.....

Thank you Mr. Fox. I don’t actually do all of them all the time. While I practice the saxophone usually one hour a night I haven’t painted any pictures in a while nor am I always baking. I’d be 4 sizes bigger.

For me hobbies help keep life exciting and interesting.

Same here Bratti, I have quite a few interests besides running.
Although I keep regular sessions of running, I like to construct small electronics projects, and add new features and make modifications to my workshop in the loft. Plenty of woodworking, reading and photography. Walking takes precedence when the weather is fine, although covid has kept it local this year.

Have you read any Peter James Percy? I like reading English based detective mysteries, and Detective Roy Grace (Peter James) is based in the Sussex constabulary.
