This morning Bec and I had a girly day together to celebrate her birthday. We spent the morning ice skating in the gorgeous setting of Somerset House, not that we noticed. We were both out of practise and spent the majority of the session with eyes transfixed on our feet, or the grandparent moving dangerously slowly in front of us, or the small child whizzing past us and practically between our legs. There were several near misses (particuarly while taking the photos with our phone whilst skating) but thankfully both of us managed to stay on our feet.
Afterwards we warmed up with a hot chocolate and then walked to Covent Garden for lunch.Being Australia Day we had to visit the Australia Shop in Covent Garden and manged to spend a small fortune buying coveted treats for ourselves.

Now that is something I would really have loved to have joined you for and I can assure you this grandma wouldn't be sticking to the slow lane. Decent ice skating venues are rather hard to find in Oz these days. It was a sad day when St Kilda's St Moritz closed it's doors for the last time.
Sigh ...
