Ice skating and second adolescence

The local Ice Rink not scoring very well on customer care, we ended up travelling to Canary Wharf in London, where the last of the Christmas/New Year outdoor rinks was still open. At least there we should not have met anyone we knew and could display our lack of expertise without due concern. Except that the girl selling the tickets had been in one of my A-level Physics classes only three years ago .... The (temporary) rink was located between the skyscrapers of Docklands. Video clip to follow when I have worked out the best way of posting videos to a blog!

This photo taken from beside the ice rink...


In the afternoon, we visited Greenwich Park. Pulse rates of 92 and 96 (don't ask) after we had walked up to the Old Observatory at the top of the hill.

To prove we did reach the top...


This was the view on the way back down again....


We finished the day with a real dose of adolescence, at the Greenwich Picture House (see review below). No popcorn, though. We shall have to have another go at this cinema thing ...
