People tend to talk of traits and skills as if they're hereditary. I have no idea if they really are but I do know that both my mother and my grandmother wrote, as well as many other "artistic hobbies". (No, I have no colour co-ordination skills to speak of, Sam got that.) Unfortunately, I have nothing that my grandmother wrote but I do have a few pieces that my mother put together and so, in memory of two amazing women, here they are.
