Roller Disco inferno baby



This morning I swapped two wheels for eight and went roller disco baby yeah!

Well actually I took the kids to the local roller skating rink which opened a couple of years ago. My youngest children are quite accomplished skaters and wanted dad to come along, what could possibly go wrong?

The last time that I strapped wheeled boots to my feet was well over a decade ago so to say I was a little rusty was a bit of an understatement.

I laced the boots up, so far so good.

I met an old friend of mine who is an ace skater - no pressure then

I made it to the edge of the rink, yay.

I made it round once

And then again

And again, this was fun.

It is amazing how age blunts the memory, simply skating around is such simple unadulterated fun I really should do it more, hey I am going to do it more, roller skating peleton anyone?
