OSA on ice

Whilst ice skating the other evening, we were pleased to come across Tom Pownall, his magnificent beard and Tom Kistruck:

Wednesday evening saw us return to the ice rink. The rink had been swept, but the snow was falling quite heavily, which made the experience "interesting".

Ice skating

Most of our fearless skiers went ice skating last night on the resort's newly refurbished and very popular rink.  All went well although the indestructible Lottie did fall on her wrist and sustained a tiny fracture to the end of her radius.  Needless to say, she has it strapped up and is still smiling.
Here is Mrs Liley's group photo of the ice skaters, followed by one of our five excellent Year 11s, who have been very reliable and helpful this year.

As predicted, the snow is currently falling gently and the pistes are receiving a welcome dusting of new snow.  We are expecting some more overnight.
