Hobbies and Interests
In my spare time (when I'm not at soft plays, farms, zoos and taking care of two small infants!) I love to do the following:
- Cook tasty food - and more importantly, eat it!
- Go for walks to nearby woodlands, lakes, parks etc - sometimes further afield
- Read - I love most genres: crime, romance, classics, non-fiction, fantasy - anything really and I like to vary it!
- To go hand-in-hand with reading, I love to write when I get chance. I enjoy writing about my life, short stories, poetry. I go to a Creative Writing club once a month. I thoroughly enjoyed doing my MA in Creative Writing and managed to get a short story published as part of a competition. I've also done various online writing retreats and hope to one day publish a book.
- Watch dramas on TV: crime, medical, period dramas all gripping!
- Watch films - old, new - at home or at the cinema. I enjoy Rom Coms, psychological thrillers, comedies...
- Watch plays at the theatre (or the cinema - got to love National Theatre Live!) - any of my fave books brought to life or Shakespeare or one-woman plays. I really enjoyed Hey Duggee Live with my toddler actually - live shows are just brilliant.
- Going on Holiday with friends or family, or short breaks with my hubby and the kids (or sometimes kid-free!)
- I love photos! Taking them, framing them, making photo books, making gifts from them - so many memories :-)
- When I have money to spend on myself (which isn't very often now) I really enjoy shopping - to be fair, I love shopping for most things: food, kids' stuff, homeware - on the high street or online :-D
