It still rankles that I couldn't go as a child - there was no ice rink anywhere near and I knew I'd love it. I had to make do with roller skates, which several of us kids practically lived on

I only went ice skating for the first time when I was about 18 or 19, and of course because of the roller skating could do it straight away, but never did get to go many times.
That weekend, Bb and I were walking and found the rink, and both said immediately, Oh yes!

Roller skates were my absolute, absolute favourite when I was young very closely followed by my bike..and I loved my bike! :lol:

When our lads were of an age to have roller blades I tried theirs on and watched..dead chuffed..as the boys were plainly gobsmacked at their mother's 'talent' for blading. 8-)

I then explained my roller skates were practically glued to my feet when younger..I still remember doing mum's head in whizzing up and down the kitchen lino! :lol:

And I can still hear her shouting "don't you dare leave lines on my carpet!" I did! :oops:

Enjoy it, Ally.

Skating is like riding a bike - once you've done it you never forget.

You certainly are an active young lady !

Yes I was glued to my roller skates too, and they were my absolute favourite - and yes, when I wasn't on them I was glued to my bike

We even tried roller skates on bikes, playing bike polo/hockey (loose rules!) - it meant you could turn faster

Kaz you and I definitely had parallel childhoods except I'm so jealous you got to go ice skating :evil:

I think us 3 might have got up to heaps of mischief!

It's probably just as well we didn't grow up on the same street

Oh definitely - and yes Di I think we did!!

Ally it might not look that way now, as I am pretty girly these days, but I was such a tomboy! Always up to my armpits in mud pies, fishing for tiddlers, playing with my toy cars and building blocks. My best friend was the little boy next door :lol:
