Somerset House - Ice Skating

"The Capsticks Solicitors office social club has organised ice skating on Monday night so I am going to that
Hopefully it will be better than what I did last Friday
Apparently it is the best one around"

Welcome to Somerset House Ice Rink
London's loveliest ice rink returns to the Courtyard at Somerset House for a fourth year and is more popular than ever.
Build up an appetite and give yourself a fun-filled workout at our day time skating sessions - ideal for families.
The torch-lit evenings bring a touch of night time glamour.
A 40-ft Christmas Tree (until 6 January) adds a spectacular seasonal atmosphere.
Whether you're an able skater or an absolute beginner, it's the winter experience that everyone can enjoy.

"Last night I went ice skating with a group from work
After my initial attempt at Sloane Square was so disappointing, I was hoping for better and I got it!!
Somerset house is beautiful
It was like a fairy tale with lights and music
It was such good fun
I can skate!!
I was cruising around like I was a pro - sort of
I didn't fall over and after I got over my initial wobbles I was fine
My feet were sore and my left leg is sore
We went around in a circle anticlockwise for an hour so the pressure was all on one foot
We got there about half way through the session before us so we were able to have a hot chocolate and watch them
They have marshalls on the ice that take you around if you need help
They hold your hand and pick you up if you fall down - which I will again say I didn't!!
By the end of it I was starting to be able to go backwards
and I could also do a little spin type thing (sort off) - but I didn't fall over!"
