Ask a gran

Do you still share your DH / OH interests or hobbies?

I’ve recently joined a walking group and was surprised how many couples there were who have been walking together for years, some of them met on walking holidays.

This started me wondering about how many Gransnetters met their partners through a common hobby or interest, what it was and do you still do it?

I've never had an OH through shared hobbies.
Strange, though, as people often do refer to the fact that they share hobbies with their OHs.
From what I can remember, about 30 years ago I did share the putting together of a GIANT jigsaw with my then OH, that we'd been given as a gift. It was HUGE but appealed to us both.
I'm more the crafty person, though, and my previous partners have had their own interests. Never stopped us spending time together, though!

Jigsaws- we both like them, but cannot do one together! We have different methods and would get on each others’s nerves.

Some things we do on our own, some together.
Especially the important ones.
