Not sure old counts, Churchill had brick laying as hobby into his sixties. He wrote to Stanley Baldwin in 1927: "I have had a delightful month—building a cottage and dictating a book. 200 bricks and 2,000 words per day." He started with garden walls.

Have fun with your new hobby. :)

What a lovely answer. Thank you. I am in fact working on a book and a compiler at the moment!
