My hobbies are photography and I am the unoficial photographer for our village walking group and the village Anciens combattants, the old soldiers of France. I'm the only English bloke that ever been invited to join and it is an honour for me! Wood working and turning are my biggest hobby and you can see what that's all about from my web site below. I love the challenge of something new, but I steer clear of joinery. That's a different discliplin altogether and one I don't shine at
Wine? Well, as we live in the biggest vineyard in the world I have found that there is just tooooo much choice here. 50 years back the Languadoc was known for the quantity, but they have put a load of work in and now it's the quality that's important. We don't have a wine celler, it just doesn't last that long although we did buy a couple of cases of some lovely red about 5 years back and it has matured very nicely too! An Appelation Minervois Protege. I don't know wht the cepage is, but it's a lovely wine. Not cheap either, we paid over 7€ a bottle!
My other hobby is radio controlled gliders. I have a stash of them, but I've been able to do very little here as the nearest place to fly is about 50km away. I love the building as well as the flying, the repairing is an essential I'm afraid. I have been asked why not fly the full size and my answer is always "because I have seen the way I land!"
I quite like gardening too, but SWMBO curtails my work. She says that I just like cutting things down, but that just isn't true. I like cutting things up too
