"Obvious maybe, but travelling - visiting new places, experiencing new cultures. Day to day I love finding a good movie, book or album I haven’t seen/read/heard before "
Yes travelling is a good one, finding time is the hard part.
Love a movie night though |

Walking is great for the body and the mind..
I love an early morning walk..
I love the feeling of the cold brisk morning on my face..
I love the sounds of the birds chirping in the background while strolling...
It's free and something you can do at your own pace and it is sometimes great to put the phone away for a while also  |

"Lego, it’s very relaxing and satisfying when I finish a build. Technic mostly.
What have you built!!?  "
Pity we can’t post photos here but I suppose I could as my Lego to my profile pics
I’ve about 7 sets. Original Mini, Claas tractor, some lorries and the bucket wheel excavator. Huge set. Real boys stuff, I know.
@little minx It does take patience alright and it’s a bugger when you realise you’ve done something wrong and have to ‘unbuild’ back to the error. But when you’re in the zone, hours pass quickly. |

What cars have you worked on? I agree with you. Taking them apart is the easy part. Putting back together is a bugger!  |

Climbing up and down sketchy cliffs and hillsides or down into valleys in search of unique landscapes to photograph is usually my way to unwind. Generally love the solidtude of it and the mindful in the moment state you get into when partaking. |

I wouldn't call it fun.
Used to do some farming, that used to take up alot of my time. Mainly in the summer time now or deftly during the longer day light day's anyway's. Walking through a field of animals, looking at them to see have they any health problems. Hearing them eating grass or whatever. Nobody else around to wreck your head = peace. During the summer gathering bales, seening the night turn into day light again.
Most fun thing I usually do is to try & go for a few pints on Saturday night(nothing mad), seening people, you wouldn't see otherwise. |

Being introverted, fun is mostly solitary for me - walking the dog, reading. Recently took up an art class but it's not something I am particularly enjoying, won't give up the day job just yet!

Going for walks, walking parkrun on most Saturday mornings. After the last 6 months of a bacterial infection in my lungs, it is great to get out again.
Hope to go walking around Vartry reservoir and Glendalough. Both places real peaceful.

I'll never forget when I was only about 8 and my uncle told me to close my eyes and put my hands out.
Thought I was getting something nice, he lobbed a massive fish into my hands! Traumatized to say the least  |

It’s trekking whenever I can …. Very much enjoy the thrill of it. And the views from top with naked eyes is better than any resolution picture.
Did Brahmatal trek in India this December, snow covered trails going upto 3.734 metres elevation. Gorgeous scenes ! |

If you have Amazon Prime some of the books are free. If you are into classics and biographies, there are plenty free ones. |

I honestly can't think of a single thing that's been better for my mental health.
Sea swimmer's in Galway are insufferable evangelists and never stop on about it. I'm not like them. You should all totally try it. |

Nah, I got fed with having to rely on somebody setting up the bow so I could shoot the arrows! I wish they would show you and then get you to practice it on your own! There was the cost as well, you had to pay €25 a year plus an extra €30 to cover cost of insurance for the year and each week you had to pay €5 for an hour and a half.  |

Music and drawing are my release from the madness lol. If not listening to it, then I'm playing the piano or trying to get the hang of this bass guitar hahahaha.
Just started drum lessons last week so going to be rocking it definitely by the end of this year lol
Would love to get back to the drawing but, very relaxing and total escapism |

Hiking/hillwalking gets me outdoors and meeting interesting people while keeping fit.
Gym/swim with a sauna session afterwards does the same indoors.
An interest in horse breeding also helps to fill the gap between fab activities. |
