I've read a ton of books this year. Not a new hobby but I normally wouldn't get through this many.

Upcycled a few old pieces of furniture at the start of lockdown

More sea swimming than normal.

Now I need to find something to keep me busy when winter hits

Nothing, carried on working full-time, dog walking and yoga. Some of us didn't get the extra downtime that others did. I did become the last person on the planet to sign up to Netflix I suppose.

Since lockdown, I got back into the family farm! And have to say, working with animals and producing quality products is something that fills a void being an account by day can’t! I understand people may have different opinion but there isn’t anything quite like seeing a calf being born and going through the stages of its life!
