(As children we were told 'I want doesn't get!' We were expected to wait for something to be offered, or at the very least say 'Please may I have.'
But that was the way the thought came to me that I would love to have a piano. I had been talking to someone who was getting rid of one, and I was thinking of the immense pleasure of listening to my daughters playing the piano, and I realised that, actually, I wanted to learn to play.
As parents it wasn't easy finding the money for music lessons, but for my parents it was simply out of the question, and it just didn't enter my consciousness that children had piano lessons. It was completely outside my experience.
And now, all these years later, I suddenly know that I would love to learn to play the piano.
Someone else got the one that was being given away - but I'm looking now....
..do you have any unfulfilled ambitions, musical or otherwise, that you didn't know you even had?....
