When away from work, what do you enjoy doing?

When away from work I spend the majority of free time with my family. We often visit the beach,nature parks and the zoo, enjoying the play parks on route! I love playing the piano and creating music, I find it exploratory, relaxing and therapeutic. The hobbies that I have vary from time to time but I try to revisit them as much as possible, these include Mountain Biking (trail riding), flying my drone (see photo), golf, creating Arduino electronic / hardware prototypes, swimming and keeping up to date with new technology.

I find myself looking into subjects such as history, economics, mathematics and computer science, finding them all very interesting and will often read up on them in my free time.
