Hobbies and Interests. Hobbies and Interests I'm one of those types who seems to have a million hobbies and interests. One of those interests became my job (astronomy, for those following at home). I have a big interest in science in general and public education of science. I have a big interest in history, and British history in particular. As you might have seen on the side bar, I also run a big website on the Tudor Dynasty. I also have a great love of castles, which you will see if you browse throught the photography and travel section of this site. I also love to sew, do needlework (cross stitch and blackwork in particular) and quilting. Family history is another interest of mine, even though I haven't had a lot of time to do much on it lately. I also love gardening, but don't have a lot of photos or things to write about on that subject right now, but there are some up at my Flickr pages.

And last but not least (for now), I also am interested in writing, particularly historical fiction. Clouds Over Cuba. First to Know | Breaking stories and much more.
