Ice Skating
Severe winters are still very rare, the week of snow and frost that we have experienced this year should not have a name.
For really cold winters we have to dig a little back into history.. In my opinion, cold winters with skating opportunities were a lot more common in my young youth.. And so began my skating career. Near our house, really a few hundred meters away, lay Het Ijzeren Kind', a puddle that was created by the sand extraction for housing in Hintham-South.
Today, such a puddle rarely freezes, in my youth it happened almost every year. That offered opportunities!
Skates were happy in the house, and those things always fit, according to my parents. It was skates that you could just tie under your shoe, so called 'bones'.
Fine anyway? That always worked, yeah??
