Glasgow last Monday evening, November 24, 2008, had a lovely surprise for me. The ice rink on George Square was opened with fanfare and music.I loved the fancy lights with bells looking as though they were really being pulled left and right -- can't get much tackier, but ...
A 75-year-old lady skater inaugurated the smooth ice before two figure skaters captivated their audience.
Too bad I had to catch a train so there was no time to strap on some skates and have a go. The crowd were impressive, standing patiently in line for admission to the ice.
