christmas fatigue
jane suddenly realises that christmas is coming to an end.
cool ice skating
we went ice skating yesterday. there was much talk amongst the children of obtaining ‘the balance’ like it was some skating-zen nirvana.
kezia suddenly announced she could skate on her own (after being dragged round by the grown ups for nearly 2 hours) and we didn’t believe her until off she went ! she had obtained ‘the balance’ and all was well.
here are esther and i doing not quite as well

lost ice skating glove
ice rink changing rooms must be full of lost gloves. a reach seem worth picking i think.

making the most of the small amount of snow
we were promised huge amounts of snow, but we got none. luckily we were visiting friends yesterday who live a few miles east of us and they had had a small frosting of snow.
not quite enough to do anything useful with, like build an igloo (esther’s usual request when snow is mentioned), but the girls did their best to extract as much fun as possible.
