I have been a keen hobbyist programmer since getting my first computer - a Vic 20 (you had to be able to write programs then since few programs were available and all were expensive).
Retired and now living in Pewsey, Wiltshire, where I spend (far too much of) my time writing computer programs to keep my mind active.
