Skates


 I was scrolling through some old photos and found this one from the fifties.  That is me in the middle with my sister and brother. We had an icy winter  and in front of our home in Amsterdam the canal was frozen and we could skate on wooden skates that you had to tie under your shoes. I never made it to be a good skater, but al least I could stand on them.

  1. What a great photo to bring back memories. I doubt that I could have been a good skater either.

  6. Nice memory. I don't think the canals ever freeze now do they?
    I used to do a lot of roller skating in my young days, only tried ice-skating a few times.
    Have a wonderful and healthy New Year Marianne and SC.
