After I married, I had one child with great difficulty. I decided to stay home and rear him myself. This opened the door to marvellous opportunities. Time to take up hobbies, studies and just stand and stare. Never had much money But it wasn't a big problems. There was dancing and shows to partake in. Education where we were able to visit areas and places we had never been to in the city. Writing group where we produced two books. Book club which his still going and keeps us up to date. Hobbies like decoupage, knitting, crocket, painting. Everything we could think of and interested in. Great to see a result at the end of each project.
