Perhaps deep down the answer would be no, or not really as what is left to do, in order to maintain the same level of satisfaction that each steps gives us?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />ColColin Husseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166476334786660482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216086753528465773.post-9019084694029696982014-09-09T11:18:40.478+10:002014-09-09T11:18:40.478+10:00Col,

I'm just catching up with a number of blog posts after being away from the internet for a week plus.<br /><br />I suspect that we all derive satisfaction from this multi-faceted hobby in different ways. Sometimes the differences are small and frequently they are complementary but overall, it's a hobby and when we stop enjoying it, it is probably time to move on to something else or perhaps start again in a different direction even if one is over 90.<br /><br />cheers PhilPhil Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268733501548280685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216086753528465773.post-71993640181778133522014-09-08T22:01:06.073+10:002014-09-08T22:01:06.073+10:00Ray
