As of the end of 2009, here is what occupies our leisure time at Pencilhaven:

• Distilling essential oils (using a hammered copper Portuguese pot still)
• Setting up our many-sensored weather station
• Our wine cellar and wine collecting
• Letterpress printing
• Speaker building, Linux installing, greenhouse orchids, aquariums (David)
• Old things and local history
• Food and cooking
• Exploration and Travel
• Tending to our pets
• Astrophotography
