It’s currently winter here and for the first time for some years, we have very cold weather and snow. And the weather has reminded me of another winter.
There was a pond near to where we lived then. It would freeze in the winter when it was really cold, so hard you could actually skate on it, something I loved to do.
Of course, because of the obvious dangers, us children were not allowed to skate on the ice without adult supervision. However, as you may have already guessed, it proved too much of a temptation for me and I would ignore the rules and skate on my own.
