Blog Junkie is a UK blog about hobbies and leisure activities for adults. There is information for people who want to take up a new interest, return to a pastime that they have let slip and also for people who want to know why they find certain activities so absorbing. As well as information on how to choose and start up a hobby, there is an archive of general-interest articles on health, family life, home and technology that are being reviewed and updated over time.
What you will find here

How our articles are researched
- Articles are written from published sources, such as government guidance, official bodies, universities and peer-reviewed research.
- Where a specific claim about law, safety, health, money or science needs support, we link to the source so you can check it yourself.
- Where evidence is limited or disputed, we say so rather than presenting it as settled.
- Our full standard is set out in our editorial policy and sources page.
