Fishing - Hence the picture on the front page.  I really enjoy the peace and quite of course fishing - there are some lovely locations in and around Banbury.  As the coast is at least a 2 hour drive from here, sea fishing is an occasional hobby - except for the annual trip to Guernsey for the Bass.

Trains - The beautiful steam locomotive is everyone's favourite, but the sound of the Class 37 or a Deltic at full power takes some beating for the true railway enthusiast. Some pictures

Philately -  Stamps from all over the world, but concentrating on the UK, Guernsey, Aland Islands, UN, Gibraltar & Iceland.

Books - I enjoy reading all genres and have an extensive library of new & old books on many subjects.

Music - I play electronic organ and keyboard, mainly for my own please now, but regularly entered concerts, festivals and completions in my youth.

Crafts - I make greetings cards for all occasions, and also enjoy cross-stitch, paper-crafts and all types of ways of being creative.  Some of my work

Tropical Fish - A 10 gallon tank currently home to: Neon, X-Ray, Copper and Blue Tetras, Dwarf Rainbowfish & a Bronze Catfish. (Note to other aquarium keepers - don't let the heater touch the glass - otherwise you'll quickly learn just how much of a mess 10 gallons of water will make in your lounge!)

Fish Keeping - There are 2 ponds in the garden- one with Moby (Dick) the only survivor of the original fish put in when the pond was first dug, about 4 years ago. Having eaten most of this years tadpoles, he's definitely the size of a whale.  The larger pond has half a dozen goldfish and shubunkins now in their 3rd year.  The ponds have also attracted frogs, newts & dragonflies into the garden.
