Now we're past the Solstice and the nights are fair drawing in  , what plans are you formulating for filling the long dark winter nights?

I'd like to learn Gaelic.

This winter I hope to take a degree course in astro physics.

[devonlady]

Am hoarding books!!

[Bionic]

Never short of things to do. Spinning, knitting, weaving, tapestry, rag rug making, felting, learning the guitar and anything else I can fit in

[marka]

Sleep!

Last winter i studied to become a sex maniac but sadly failed the practical. This winter i shall work on my plans for world domination instead

[bloomer]

This winter I am launching a soup kitchen at my church,

I don't envisage much spare time, but what time I do  have will be spent building bee hives...

[doganjo]

Trying to sort out the paperwork for 3 organisations that I have let get on top of me

Rosemary.....Really?   Talking of winter already?

It will be back to the curling for myself.
But I'm hoping to start dabbling with some stick making now I have someplace to do it - my new shed 

......I'd like to learn Gaelic.

Me too and following our chat last week a new website has been launched by Outlander actor Gary Lewis - http://learngaelic.scot/

I'm not even thinking any further than this lovely heat which makes me feel so much better and in less pain. I used to hate it but now I love it. It was only 27C here though.

10 degrees warmer than me MGOM

[Herdygirl]

This autumn/winter I shall be beginning my final year on a History degree course, so lots to research and write! 

[Thyme]

Learn more Welsh (coming along but still a long way to go).

Learn how to do my own taxes.

Process some fleece into something worth knitting.

[Beeducked]

Sleep.
Knit.
Obsess over seed catalogues.
Read (anything and everything).
Make cheese. I know this sounds like more of a summer thing but have found that my cheese making seems better in the winter. The milk is much richer so makes a bigger cheese for the volume of milk, I have more time and am not trying to preserve everything else from the garden and the temp in the kitchen is much better. Still doing it now but it is more fun in the winter, feels like the place is still producing.

[Fleecewife]

We find in winter there's more stuff to do around the smallholding, in far worse conditions, so if anything we have less leisure time.
I expect I'll still be processing this year's clip.........
