This is my first attempt at a poll!

It struck me the other day that pretty much all of my current interests and hobbies (cars, tennis, horse riding, cooking/food, languages, science and maths, reading) I’ve pretty much carried over from childhood and they have been consistent interests over most of my life, even if I’ve not always been able to do them eg sort of gave up horse riding after last accident. Some current interests eg motorbikes are just extensions of others (cars) and some (aircraft/flying) I’ve just never got around to doing consistently for one reason or the other (although recently I have been wondering whether I could get my PPL).

My tastes in food and music have also remained similar so even though I’ve tried and liked lots of different cuisines and music my underlying preference is for spicy/loud.

Obviously this poll is going to mean more for those who are older (which I think is a fair percentage of PH) but have your hobbies and interests changed a lot over your life? Are you doing or liking stuff now that your younger self would disapprove of or would find strange?

I'm in my mid 50's, the only things I do now that I did in teens/20's are listening to music and riding motorcycles, though the motorcycle thing is with a 30 year gap.

I didn't really do hobbies when I was younger, just lived life and enjoyed music.
