Hi Guys! As Goldie is still offline, here is my (late) third poll on wednesday.
We all have our private lives and do our hobbies. Simple question: what are yours? and if they aren't in the poll this time, just tell me what other hobbies you have.
Really!!!So that's where the name comes from.Only been to one at Scotney Castle funnily enough.Certainly different. It was the peak night of the Perseid Meteor shower so we ended up lying down on picnic blankets watching meteors rain from the sky.It was a particularly good year as no moon. They also were toasting marshmallows on a bonfire and doing an evening nature trail. A magical night all round. My hobbies are history,astronomy and Art!
The links between hobbies and wellbeing are well documented. One Sociologist Ray Oldenburg even dedicated work to studying the spaces where we socialise and do hobbies arguing for the importance of them ... Google "oldenburg Third Place" ...

I did ghost hunting events as a hobby, then ran my own ghost hunting events company for 4 years with hubby. After that got a full time job in a completely different field so couldnt do both in the end it got too much coming back all hours at the weekend, I dont know how these freshers do it clubbing every weekend lol. I certainly feel it as im a lot older lol.
Thats one of the things I like about it is the history of the place and interacting with who ever is there. World war soldiers, lords and ladies, knights, asylum patients, even ronnie and reggie kray once. Astronomy we was members of the astronomical society in Nottingham. The guest speakers, some of them were great, especially Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell who was a fellow at Mansfield College Oxford, and Lucie Green. Were no longer members as daughters at uni now, but we still watch the perseid and geminids, although geminids as a lot colder in december, so its hot chocolate all round lol
