Meet Cynthia



I've been going on a bit of an ancestral journey recently, having rediscovered an old photo of my great great grandfather, Macintosh Curtain Pond. I've also stumbled upon another, more recent family photo, this time of my great aunt Cynthia. She was an aspiring Olympic short track speed skater and lives in Canada. Unfortunately she never qualified, as she didn't quite meet the minimum height requirement. She's retired now but here she is in her younger days, kitted out and warming up for one of her intense training sessions. As you’ve probably noticed, I enjoy sharing these titbits of my family history with you all- I do so hope you find it interesting to see some old images of figurative muses!
