Other Hobbies

[Heffy]

Hey All

I was just wondering what beeks pastimes/interest/other hobbies are, when not tending to bees;

I have two other main interests, one being motorcycles especially older bikes, so if you have one or more languishing in a shed or garage give me a shout. I have three bikes a Honda VTR1000 and two older Laverda's.

My other interest is rugby union, sadlly my playing days are long past.

Cheers
Matt

Hobbies

Well I came to Beekeeping having retired with Arthritis after 20 years as a voluntary/Club Canoe & Kayak Coach

I also returned to guitar playing after more than a few years off

and I make Walking Sticks, and lots of other things from wood...

We have always kept dogs - Setters; both Irish and English so we walk (a lot!)

Sadly I still go to work so there's not much time left for anything else

I am suppose to be retired but work a couple of days a week assessing farms.
My wife and I have 5 Highland Cattle and more expected, a small flock of Suffolk X sheep, 4 pea fowl and numerous chickens.

I enjoy the fencing and keeping the paddocks in good order.
I enjoy vegetable and fruit growing, producing surplus which I sell.
I have a 38 yr old tractor which I enjoy maintaining and using the numerous labour saving equipment I have acquired or bought.

And bees making equipment and generally pottering about.

I don't know how I managed to fit a stressful full time job in.
