What Hobby makes you happiest?
I have many hobbies but I think the top two that make me the "happiest" are bird-watching and wild flower arranging.


I encourage many birds to come to my garden and it cheers me up so much in winter; I have about 6 different feeders situated all over the garden and 3 of them are in a place where I can view them easily from inside. I grow bird-tasty berries such as holly and pyracantha and put satsuma halves on branches for the fruit eaters. I love watching them all and I love their voices so much; even when they squabble. When everything else looks dead and still in mid-winter, my world is a riot of colour and energy because of all my hungry visitors.


Because I love birds and have kept quite a few as pets (not wild ones!), I was attracted to grass. I picked a variety of fresh grass for my parakeets every day and was surprised by how many different kinds there are. So I use wild grass and some common wild flowers in flower arrangements, and a lot of them are weeds, but they are still beautiful if used right. I make it look like a microcosmos of a real meadow or riverbank or whatever. Just going all over the place on my 50cc scooter on a beautiful day to get inspiration, then finding my theme then picking and picking, makes me so happy! Then when I get home, doing the very natural and very informal arrangements makes me happy. A lot of thinking goes into colour and shape, and form, and I love that part.


Delivering them to people and seeing their delight makes me happier still!


I have never been paid for doing this, so it is a hobby, but have been asked by my local City Hall to decorate tables for environmental meetings; friends to do arrangements for weddings and christenings; producers for stage decorations etc. It makes me really happy that people value my arrangements enough to request them.


Autumn is just one of the best times for this, so I am already excited about my next project!
