I have many hobbies but I think the top two that make me the "happiest" are bird-watching and wild flower arranging.
I encourage many birds to come to my garden and it cheers me up so much in winter; I have about 6 different feeders situated all over the garden and 3 of them are in a place where I can view them easily from inside. I grow bird-tasty berries such as holly and pyracantha and put satsuma halves on branches for the fruit eaters. I love watching them all and I love their voices so much; even when they squabble. When everything else looks dead and still in mid-winter, my world is a riot of colour and energy because of all my hungry visitors.
Because I love birds and have kept quite a few as pets (not wild ones!), I was attracted to grass. I picked a variety of fresh grass for my parakeets every day and was surprised by how many different kinds there are. So I use wild grass and some common wild flowers in flower arrangements, and a lot of them are weeds, but they are still beautiful if used right. I make it look like a microcosmos of a real meadow or riverbank or whatever. Just going all over the place on my 50cc scooter on a beautiful day to get inspiration, then finding my theme then picking and picking, makes me so happy! Then when I get home, doing the very natural and very informal arrangements makes me happy. A lot of thinking goes into colour and shape, and form, and I love that part.
Delivering them to people and seeing their delight makes me happier still!
I have never been paid for doing this, so it is a hobby, but have been asked by my local City Hall to decorate tables for environmental meetings; friends to do arrangements for weddings and christenings; producers for stage decorations etc. It makes me really happy that people value my arrangements enough to request them.
Autumn is just one of the best times for this, so I am already excited about my next project!

Walking in the countryside with my dog. I am in London at the minute and I miss big hills and nice beaches and nice fresh drizzle on your face and coming home to a big mug of tea and the sunday papers all fresh and untouched.
God, Im so old. I used to be cool, I swear!

Sweetie, your sister is moving right into a unfavorable age and at circumstances you will ask your self who she is. in case you have been waiting to flee this, you're unusual. you incredibly can't be responsible for how your sister walks. do not conceal up for her yet do not tell on her the two. permit this be between your mum and dad and her. tell her you is genuinely not in touch, yet I do think of you will desire to do as much as you could at the same time, too.

Climbing. I'm terrified of heights so it gives me an enormous sense of achievement getting up the top

Yahoo Answers, and watching movies. That I'm not obese yet from sitting around so much, is a wonder!
