Hi Alpine, Thank you so much for reading and it's great to find a photo to go with what I'm writing. Thankful for all the amazing photographers that share their work.
Julie, thank you for reminding me of one of my favourite childhood memories with this beautiful poem. I remember watching (on TV) ice dancers Torvill & Dean win gold at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo February 1984. At only-just 9, I was DESPERATE to skate like them, and put 'ice skates' on my Christmas list.
When Christmas arrived many months later I was so excited to be handed a really heavy present. Guess what it was? A TYPEWRITER! I was thrilled, and perhaps relieved that I didn't have to suddenly go off to learn to ice skate...!!! 🤣
I love this message! You made me laugh. Oh I know, wouldn't it be amazing to skate like them! I love watching the ice skaters in the Winter Olympics too. :) But what a great gift..the typewriter!!
Such a fun poem, perfect for winter. The accompanying photo is a perfect illustration <3

🤣 I was so pleased with it, Julie! But I do still love to watch the skating! 😊
I love watching the skating too. It's amazing what our bodies can do!
Reminds me of many mornings, boot skating on the creek as we waited for the bus to get here.
oh fun Claudette! I grew up with a pond behind our home...some fun memories skating as a child.
