I love ice-skating. I’m
not very good at it, but enjoy it immensely.
Coming from Australia, we don’t have outdoor ice-skating rinks (well,
none that I know of), and certainly none during the festive season, which is
the height of our summer. One thing I’ve
loved doing each of the 12 winters I’ve endured in the UK is go to an outdoor
rink and stumble around. I have been lucky enough to do this in Edinburgh, Kew
Gardens, at the base of the Tower of London, Canary Wharf, and even in Berlin. I missed out last year, as I was pregnant
with Pickle; and this year with a newborn and recovering from SPD (more on that
later), I will eagerly await the opportunity to return at the end of this year
instead (though not the return of winter!).
The fabulous Westfield Stratford City has kindly offered a family ticket (for 2 adults and 2 children) for this weekend, so some of you
out there can enjoy their outdoor real-ice rink set against the backdrop of the
Olympic Stadium and East London skyline.
You’ll have to be quick though, as the rink is only open until this
Sunday, so the competition closes at 5am on Friday 6th January. Skating sessions are open:
Saturday 7th January: 9:15am-11pm
Sunday 8th January: 11:30am- 6:45pm
