We do this hobby to escape from the stresses of life, but when our hobby projects start to feel like forced (unpaid) chores, the fun and spark of enthusiasm dwindles. During lockdown it’s been natural to gravitate towards our enjoyable hobbies, but the more time it consumes, so it almost feels like we are full-time model makers and painters and it simply gets too much and overwhelming (I’m currently feeling that about Armies on Parade) and the enjoyment ends. I get you, I’ve been there hobbying over the last 40 years… ups and downs. I find a break is as good as a rest. I know that spark of enthusiasm will get ignited again by something I see or read about and I hope that will be the same for you in due course. The most important thing is stay safe and rest. Life should be a ‘gentle’ marathon rather than an ‘exhausting’ sprint. ? Take care. See you in the CoGs forums…
