Holidays on Ice

No, not Red Square, but in fact The Mall, Cribbs. After spending much of my youth roller-skating before progressing to a mountain bike, I was very chuffed to say ice-skating’s a doddle. The embarassing or hard part? When the guy in the boot booth asks, ‘what size?’ and you have to reply, ‘what’s the largest you’ve got?’. Big feet, big ice-skating boots. That’s how the saying goes.
