I've decided that I need to do more exercise once baby is here (I would do it now but I get too sore) but I would also like to start doing more of my old hobbies that I have neglected.

I have started to knit and, to an extent, crochet but I used to have a very keen interest in photography - and I would love to rekindle this once baby is here.

I am looking forward to long walks with the baby where I can take my camera and experiment with different methods of photography.

Sadly I am not the most skilled or knowledgeable about the subject but I feel I will put my maternity leave to good use and teach myself - I gave the books so now just need to read them!

I once did a challenge to take a picture everyday for a year and succeeded in doing over two years without a break but my love for that dwindled as I ran out of ideas on what to take pictures of. I might start that back up again and see if I can think of more exciting angles to take pictures and experiment with close ups and settings.

I hope to learn new hobbies and skills over the combining months also and would be keen to hear suggestions in what to do.
