One of my favourite 80s haunts , such a shame it's gone forever. Anyone else used to go there ?

Funny, last Sunday i went to the Natural History Museum for some ice skating. Did the same at Somerset House a few years back, also in December. Handy, there's a few of these temporary outdoors rinks that pop up around November and stick around til Jan/Feb.

Perhaps we should have a PN ice skating evening? :D

Yes, I went to Richmond too - got my first four grades there! :D

Damned if those badges reflect my ability to skate now though... if we go, I officially bet that I'll be the first to face-plant the ice.

I'll race you!
