Hi

Because of the snowy weather today, I decided to stay in and use the time to sort out some boxes of old photos which were in a bit of a mess. I haven't looked at some of these photos for years, and it turned out to be a real trip down Memory Lane.

There I was, aged 10, posing for the camera in my ballet shoes and tutu, convinced that I was destined to be a world-class ballerina. And another one of me at about 15, caught on camera in mid-jump as I was competing in the high jump at a school sports day. There were others of me playing tennis, hockey, netball, and also swimming. And was that really me in my very short mini-dress, trying to look like Twiggy and just as thin :?:

It really made me realise how sporty and athletic I used to be. I sorted out the photos and put them away in a box up in the loft. I don't think I will depress myself by looking at them again :shock:

Joan :D
