beautiful synchronicity ruth :) knitting is something i have learned/inherited from my mother that she had from her mother. & piano playing also from my mother & grandfather. but it's so long now since i played regularly that the few times i've made a feeble attempt it's been quite embarrassing. i do actually own a piano, in nz, so perhaps when i'm back here permanently i'll get back into it ... gardening is another skill i have from my mother, & we had a conversation about it recently, as i was curious where she had got the passion from. her parents weren't active gardeners - they had a great garden at their house in sydney, but they also had a gardener - so mum just learned herself. i've also inherited from her a love of jigsaw puzzles & the ability to select the perfect-sized container for putting the leftovers into - does that count as a skill? ;)
