I love the skating reports, it's great to read your experience of the Worlds. We went to the Europeans in Sheffield a few years ago and it was a fantastic experience. I would love to do it again.
It's a vicious cycle getting funding for sport - you have to produce medals to get funding, and you can't get atheletes upto medal standard without the funding. Gymnastics seem to have got it sussed, I hope figure skating can learn something from the gymnasts. |

Thank you - and...
...I couldn't agree more. For us, just FINDING an ice rink is a big hassle. There used to be one in Stevenage, but now our nearest proper rinks are in London or Chelmsford. There's a roller rink in Welwyn Garden City, though... But speaking of gymnastics, how great have the gymnasts been in Rio?! LOVE that Amy Tinkler! I had a little cry watching HER cry... We had such a fab time in Boston that I'm thinking about booking a similar holiday for the World Gymnastics Championships next year in Montreal... I would LOVE to go to Helsinki for next year's ISU Worlds - sadly, that one isn't in the budget. Montreal's later in the year, though...so maybe... |

I am really enjoying your trip report so far-I did intend to read all about your Florida holiday but when I saw there was a previous trip report which included Boston I thought I better start here-I am so pleased I did!
It is lovely to hear Poot's version included too. Can't wait to read the rest. |

Thank you for your kind words!
Poot has a unique perspective - it was enormous fun for me to find out all the things that he did with my DH while we ladies were at the skating! Some things he told me about at the time, but some he didn't (like my DH trying to get him to eat shellfish - Poot has a shellfish ALLERGY! ). I hope you enjoy the rest of the report - |

Great day for both of you.
We do watch the skating sometimes - as Peter is a ballroom dancer he's not averse to a sequin or several! I think it would have been really interesting to see it in person.

Watching this year's event (on telly) really made me want to go to another Championships. Next year they'll be in Milan, though I expect a lower standard - as they will be following on from the Olympics. I've never been to Milan, though...tempting!
So Peter dances - but not you, Gill? Both R.C. and I love to dance (though we can only waltz and polka) - we have lots of enthusiasm - and very little talent. That is one of the things I would love to be good at - dancing. I think my flipper-like limbs hold me back... More sequins tomorrow... Lol...this report hasn't even begun to get "different"...just wait! Thanks for reading along - |

I dance a bit but he's the star! He used to be a competitive ballroom dancer before we met. He appeared on the 'old' Come Dancing with his formation team.
