This is so beautiful Amie! I will think of your memory every time I go by the school; they have an actual ice rink there this year!

We used to skate on our local cranberry bogs. I need to make those cranberry bars!

This was GORGEOUS! Such beautiful, evocative writing. Ice skating was never part of my British childhood but I so wish it had been! I had the music and the images of the kids (and Snoopy) skating in the Peanuts Christmas movie as I read this. ❤️I love the way your mum followed her impulse to do something fun - I am gonna learn from that!
