How often did you have to divert to an alternate A/D ?

It's always interesting to read about other people's flight experiences and often it gives you something to think and learn about it.
What about scenarios in which you were forced to divert to an alternate aerodrome due to Wx, contingency, airport closure or any other reason.
I'll start. Total time 47 hours and diverted once at the middle of my PPL course during a dual flight due to CB and TS in the vicinity of the field. Landed at a nearby airport, about 15 miles, after making one attempt to approach our destination aerodrome. Not much of a story but was really instructive as we dealed with inflight decision making and adverse weather flying.
Hope to read some interesting stories!
Staying tuned!
