What’s a secret ability you have or wish you had?

I believe I can pretty much create anything. When it comes to art of being creative there are only a few things that I don’t think I am able to do.

My mum was dumbfounded when I was little and I chose to bake the the hardest cake in the cook book, or I challenged her to make some cheese and courgettes soufflés with me and they rose perfectly.

When it comes to creating I know that everything just takes practice, anyone can draw and paint, some people are naturally talented but they also have to work at it. I have so many ideas going around my head that I probably won’t start any of them.

Gardening is the same, you don’t need green fingers to garden. You just need to keep trying and find out what works for you. I cannot grow radishes, they bolt or just don’t grow. Everyone tells me it’s the easiest, but so far my tomatoes have been a lot easier.

I used to buy plants and put them where I wanted in the garden, not understanding that they may need more light or different soil. Gardening and becoming a good gardener is just about learning, reading, listening and watching your plants.

If you know me, then you know I am confident in my convictions I just wish I had the courage to create some of these things I am so sure I could. it’s a secret ability that I have let go to waste.

I still have time. Last night I stayed up and finished the paintings I have been working on for a few weeks. I think I finally like them but we will see!
