I've just been thinking about my celebrity grandparents (for lack of a better word), and realised I have a bit of each's blood in my veins:

My grandmother, Margaret "Peg" Hardy, was a poet. Every so often I rhyme my words, even by coincidence, and have been doing that even more since she passed away almost two years ago.

My great aunty, Mary Hardy, was a comedian. Though I'm not the funniest person around, I am very quick with witty jokes.

My great uncle, Frank Hardy, was an author. He wrote Power Without Glory. I too have natural skill as an author, as does my second cousin, author Marieke Hardy.
