Proper Canadians now, we’ve been skating on a frozen lake! After our morning out, our friends invited us round for a skate on the lake behind their house. I don’t have skates so I wandered about on the ice in my snow boots but the others had a blast skating and playing with the neighbourhood children and dogs. There is something really, really disconcerting about stepping off the dock and onto the ice - it took quite a bit of courage for me to put that first foot down! I was assured the ice was 25cm thick, but even so there were moments when the absurdity of standing where we swam 6 months ago was a bit much.
The best day we’ve had in a really long time - after a crappy, stressful and tear-filled week, it was just what we all needed. Here’s to better days x
