We are finally getting some use out of the skates you so kindly passed on to us

Mega cute!!

Where are your skates??

Bit too risky trying to keep a two year old upright if I'm on skates too.

Besides, it hurts my back as it is bending over to hold on to her without being another couple of inches taller

I am still the best skater in the household, but the way Iris is progressing I wont be for much longer!

daft batty

I've only tried it the once, many years ago at Durham ice rink. Am too scared too now.

Didn't see you at the polar plunge on Saturday....

Now THIS is mega cute.

The perils of hat hair after coming back inside!

ooh, you've made a rink again - I remember seeing the pictures of yours last year and bearing it in mind when I was house-hunting last Spring. Needed that flat garden, you see.

Bought the flat garden - no effort put in for the rink though - has been a bit too mild really (up till yesterday, should I say). I'll just keep thinking about it instead ....

After more digging and earth moving, for the first time this years is actually a full rectangle!!!

Well done you.

do you get half the neighbourhood round to 'share' it with you ?

iaink

Nah....most of the neighbourhood lives on the expensive side of the street, with the river in their back yard. They dont have to make a rink, it comes creeping into their backyard every year anyway

Awwwww how cute and she really seems to be enjoying herself too. How cool having your own ice rink in the garden, I bet that took some digging. I wonder if OH will dig one for me.

Thanks for posting this and reminding me of one of the reasons I'm putting myself through all the stress of moving............ having fun.

Re the skating thing -- little bottoms are closer to the ice than big ones -- I always assumed that why it hurt more when you fell when you are older - boy that ice is hard!
