What has passed you by ?

What skill do you wish you had ?
For me - I'd like to play piano well and be able to draw well too - wish I'd done something about it ..........

Flower arranging, I arrange for ages and it either looks totally regimental or like I plonked 'em in the vase.

I'd just settle for being good at something ... anything!

It's never too late Patsy. The enjoyment of having a bash at something has got to be worth more than the skill.

Yeh .. I'm a walking disaster myself.

I'd quite like to be able to do both of those things too, Patsy.
I had a piano as a kid, but I didn't keep up with it. Mind you, I wouldn't really have room for one now anyway.
Drawing would be good too, I've thought of adult education to do that or photography.

Re: What has passed you by ?

I more inclined to think what hasn't passed me by ..........

I would love to be able to do so many things...

Flower arranging courses are fairly short I think Julie, that is one that can definitely be done in later in life.

Things like learning an instrument is one for youth I think if you want to be any good.

Re: What has passed you by ?

I would also love to be able to draw or paint. I cannot even draw a straight line.

I sometimes watch programmes and people just look at their surroundings and then they draw something beautiful, amazing.

I love to sing but know I am not that good, I love to dance but the same applies. I can flower arrange to a degree.

Ah one thing I do do and that is make my Christmas wreaths, I went to a demonstration years ago and have been doing them ever since.
