"I collect fossils, but that comes with my career so I don't suppose it counts as a hobby.
I also love musical theatre and sometimes I knit. "
Fossil collecting sounds a pretty cool hobby.
I've recently started collecting women's sport memorabilia, it's far easier to collect and a lot cheaper than the male memorabilia. |

"Oh thats novel (in my experience) for a man. Do you believe in them, or just enjoy reading them for people? "
I get that a lot haha. I think most people expect a female who looks like a witch, not a normal looking man who works full time. I do believe in it yeah although I'm unable to read for myself. I love reading for others though and have always had positive feedback |

Do you enjoy watching or do you perform as well? I was a member of a few amateur dramatic societies myself and also played the drums and was a sound technician for a few productions as well |

I like going to airports and watching the planes, not plane spotting where they take the numbers down, but just the spectacle of it
I think it stems from Mum taking me and my cousin to Manchester airport as kids during the summer holidays
Up early and off on the bus with a satchel full of butties and crisps  |

Is that for your own collection or do you trade it on as well? |

I collect and recondition old hand tools. Which is somewhat related to my job and always thought was normal until everyone who comes over asks "so why is this room full of axes and sharp weird terrifying stuff..." |

Just for my own collection, I've loved sport all my life and started collecting programmes, then it became shirts, boots, cricket bats, boxing gloves etc. One day, my neice asked why it was all boy stuff and it resonated with me so I started buying women's football programmes and shirts etc |

I keep very expensive tropical fish! But still cheaper than horses ( which I used to collect).
I also love gardening ! These aren't really that unusual though !

I imagine that must be a bit of an eye opener if you have invited someone over for a meet without any prior warning of all the weapons lol |

That sounds good and especially now there's been more of a push to show certain women's sports and get more coverage. You could find yourself sitting on some gems in the future |

Its because your not talking to them. I do wonder if it also stems from the fact that if your just popping along for a chat the bee's become more familiar with your voice and less reactive when your doing stuff with them ? |

That's a shame, a woman who can syphon a fish tank without a gadget is a woman I need in my life lol |

I've noticed prices have definitely gone up over the past few years. Some of the shirts I have from the 1991 and 1995 world cup will be worth a fair bit in the future but for now it makes a pretty cool basement. |

Apart from my love of Astronomy and telescopes, I'm a sod for cleaning and hoarding jars. Jam and marmalade jars, coffee jars, pasta sauce jars......you name it, they're in the shed!
Needless to say, her indoors has to have a word now and again! |

I just keep them thinking "this'll come in handy one day"!!
But I have used loads for storing screws and nails! Lol
I just think some of the weird shaped ones are works of art, and I've made lights and lamps with them! X |

Written 2 books which are both due for publication early next year. Been a godsend to my mental state, especially having publishers interested. Going into actual print and not just online. Eye opening experience x |

I'm not shure if one of my hobbies is unusual or not but when someone new comes to my house they often make a beeline to it. I'm a bit of a hi-fi buff and do have some rather exotic kit, normally someone will ask my play some vinyl and can't believe how good it sounds. I don't tend to upgrade all that often, but when i do, i make shure it's a worthwhile upgrade. |

What do they tell / predict?"
All depends on the person having the reading. Could be the future, might be a present situation and I've had past situations come up for people before because they need to revisit something and make changes. |
