Sooooo cold in there! Jan 4

You'd have thought I'd learnt, after two Northern Hemisphere Christmases as well as several other Winter overseas trips, how cold ice is. But slow learner that I am and severely underclad, I  nearly froze to death as Mads skated for 3 hours at Icehouse in the Docklands. She had a great time, however so it's all good.

The icecat smooths out the ice so the fun can continue. So glad!??
