bobby's bear Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wow.I am / was in my previous life too though not quite at your level, but have dived alot all over the world. I am a fair weather diver though, at my happiest in a short wetsuit! I genuinely enjoy looking at the fish on the octonauts, or in the horniman aquarium, reminds me of lots of great times underwater. Hope I'll get back to it one day. Have you dived recently?

Saffron Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I used to be an enthusiatic horse rider and trail leader... haven't ridden much since 2005, not even been in the saddle since 2009. My postgraduate career ate up all my time, and Little Saff has taken a lion's chunk out of my budget.These days the closest I get to a horse is longingly to watch the police horses clip-clopping down the street.I'm looking forward to the day when Little Saff is old enough to take mother-daughter riding lessons with me. Although, by then, I'm sure she'll quickly surpass me!

ryedalema Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 PADI - Sorry! But I'm also a mixed air fan! I spent three months in Koh Tao (small island off Thailand) about ten years ago getting my instructor's licence.I didn't want to come back but finances (and my inability to speak any languages well, apart from English, Corporate-speak and now toddler) meant my dream remained just that.....Another big sigh... I'm fulfilled honestly, but Nemo still makes me blub (and it's nothing to do with him losing his dad)..:-S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18316-the-closest-i-get-these-days-to/#findComment-453225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittysailing Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I love sailing and it's been tricky since having baba - would recommend Sunsail Holidays for scratching the sailing or diving itch - the beach club at vounaki Greece is great - a beach full of boats for you to hop on and off all day - amazing free childcare - professionally run nursery nneb English nannies where they take the kids on boats. Kids pool etc. Kids food. Babysitting by nannies in evening. Good food. Baragains to be had beginning and end of season - just seen offer of ?399 for a week in May ...

Fuschia Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I love sailing too!Child no 1 has actually taken it up, and I have only been able to watch.
