There's an advert on tv where three or four women
talk about what they got from their mothers, e.g., a sense of adventure for one
person. So I was thinking about my parents.
From Mum I got a love of tradition, a sense of
responsibility, a love of gambling and playing games, e.g., cards & board
games, a love of reading, in particular romance (I think mum would have been
the first person to read my stories if she was still alive!), and my creativity
- she was always knitting, crocheting and doing tapestry. And my political
preferences.
From Dad, I got the ability to be happy in my own
company, a love of watching sport (as those of you know from my comments about
the Olympics), my cultural tastes, eg, film & music, my love of walking, an
interest in gaining knowledge on whatever subject takes my fancy, and a love of
dance.
What did you get from your parents?
