For the first time in more than 10 years we are in Holland, celebrating Christmas with the family. Yesterday, on Christmas eve, we spent the early evening ice skating in the beautiful little town Laren only 15 minutes drive from where my mother lives. I had flashbacks of the days I was a kid, skating on the rivers and canals so I felt confident enough to give it a go again and I joined Miguel and the boys…
Skating on George Michael’s ” Last Christmas’, I felt my younger self but not for long when I suddenly lost balance and had a terrible fall!! The kids had a good laugh and so Miguel who gave me an amusing look. After a plate of poffertjes and a glass of glue wine I felt much better only to realise this morning that I have seriously injured my wrist. No skiing for me in Germany???
