Ice Skating at Somerset House
This evening was threatening rain but luckily it held off. We headed down to the ice rink set up in the courtyard of Somerset House on the Strand. The 6:30 pm session was well attended and Lou was trying hard to put on a brave face as we collected our boots and buckled up.
Lou has had a bad experience with ice skating in the past (with me) and was very brave to give it another go. The rollerblading and skiing practice she has had in the intervening period definitely helped with technique and confidence.
We started off hand in hand but later she was off on her own and doing well. There is a wonderful atmosphere with everyone enjoying the novelty of open air ice skating. But for a minor mishap just before our hour was up, there were no tumbles. Well done Lou.
