We have a similar rink in Cambridge every winter - very popular with children. Some of our younger staff at the school used to take the children and push them around on the ice in their wheelchairs which was quite a sight. Skating is something I never got the chance to do when I was young. Nowadays I find that ice is even more slippery than it used to be and gravity has become a vicious adversary.
Some of them look as if they're definitely new to it.
We have a couple of them open outdoors at present- at City Hall and one for this year on Parliament Hill. We're waiting on the Canal to open for the skating season, but that's not likely until after New Year's.
I had great fun skating as a kid, but haven't skated in many years. Liked to play in pick-up hockey games back in those days, but I am more likely to take pictures of others skating now.

It looks very wintery!
ReplyDeleteYour U of Conn women's basketball team is playing a game here on Friday - a tribute to Nurse as it is her last year.
I don't think I'd be much good at that. Not enough padding!
