Besides stalking what is your other hobby?

All forms of Shooting, hunting and fishing, doing them or talking about them.
The garden and cooking various things grown of killed.
Carriage driving and living in general.
 
Fishing but sadly fishing and shooting at my time of life gets over taken by work and family commitments! 3 daughters under 6 a wife and a GSP leaves little time left!
 
It was real privilege to be invited to sing with the Mastersingers. They are indeed all professionals/ex-professionals , with a hugely varied background... there are folk who have sung with the BBC singers, St Paul's and Westminster Choirs- I started life singing with Magdalen College Choir in Oxford as a treble and have really only gone back to singing since retirement.

We meet once a month, rehearse in the afternoon and then often perform that evening. It certainly stretches your sight-reading skills! The repertoire is enormous, so I rarely see half the music before rehearsals.
If you're both singing alongside the other Mastersingers, and able to sight-read in pretty short order, you're clearly a cut above the average musically. :tiphat:

Mrs Gunn is the musician here, having studied music at Uni, worked for professional orchestras, and played continuously in amateur orchestras since school. Musicianship is a wonderful gift to have, and I regret not continuing playing.
 
Fly fishing, clay and game shooting, dog training, salami and pastrami making. Hand making bespoke fly reels and inevitably fixing my landrover
 
Heres me bent into a 5-6lb carp on a #4 weight! Many moons ago. Still have my annual trip chasing the big girls in France!
