What's in my Family Tree?

This evening I went and saw Vanessa Havell (who just stopped running the Islington Life Club as she's going to get married!!!) perform as one of the trio 'The Marjorie Belles' and she was wonderful. It was the Andrews Sisters all over again - only with a twinkle. I was sitting next to Vanessa's mum and asked her if Vanessa had inherited her fantastic voice from her. There was a resounding 'No'.

Who we get what from is fascinating and, what can be even more interesting, is what else we could get if we just looked around at all that talent in our family tree and realised it could be ours too.

I bet you had an uncle somewhere who did the most wonderful wood carving and a grandfather who won prizes for tap dancing. If we just check out who exactly was part of our family we can find out fantastic stuff that could be in our genes too, and also which of our family might be affecting the way we look at the world and our life. Maybe we could even switch perspectives.

I mean, who do we really get what from. Yes, baby wipes from Anthea Turner (see below), but what else - and from whom? Watch this space as we discover all this week.

Any household tips gratefully received.
