nICE dreams (I NEVER did have my 9th birthday party)
I started skating because my sister had and at the beginning I was really scared, but now I'm fine.
I remember when the roof blew off, it was just before my birthday and I was going to have an ice skating party. I was so disappointed but decided to wait until the rink re-opened to have the party I really wanted. When we were allowed to skate again, my mum tried to book my party but wasn't allowed because public skating wasn't allowed. I thought I was FINALLY going to have my birthday skating party last year but then AEW closed our rink!!!
I NEVER did have my 9th birthday party.
In my dreams I'm skating on an Olympic sized ice rink here on the Isle of Wight
