Churchill’s hobbies were painting and bricklaying.
England was his passion. I doubt anyone alive at the time was more passionate about England than The Last Edwardian.
Churchill did love painting, he spent his later years painting landscapes.
Bricklaying when done as a hobby isn’t labor but the release of stress through producing something productive.
When you are Winston Churchill you bloody well get to decide what your hobbies are!
BTW, Churchill had a terrible lisp as a child. He would spend hours in front of a mirror reciting books and poetry. He watched every movement of lips and tongue until he had rid himself of the lisp.
His war time doctor could tell when Churchill was especially tired because the lisp would creep back in.
