Ahem. Ok, I haven’t necessarily been dancing, but I didn’t break my legs either. Our lovely babysitter Karin came to watch little L for the afternoon and Big M took me out to Somerset Ice Rink on Strand.
It’s got to be every girls dream: the man you love, music, skates, and a gigantic Tiffany box to walk in and buy cupcakes.
That was fun. See you next winter, Somerset Ice Rink!
Dancing on ice
Oh I am not a ice girly!!
Sounds like a lovely romantic date!
I took my son ice skating at the ice rink in our town centre a couple of weeks back. I fell so bloody hard on my bum that it was numb for 3 days after! Somerset House looks lovely. I think I’d be in the Tiffany box buying cupcakes, more than on the ice though!
That looks like a fairy tale – how wonderful! Certainly unlike any of the skating rinks where I live. The Tiffany’s box is amazing – I would certainly have my fill of cupcakes there!
A very lovely post Met Mum although I am slightly disappointed as I had assumed, given the title of the pots, that there would be some mention of Phillip Schofield here. *giggle*
For me the Somerset ice rink is the best in the city. I love it. Lovely pics.
I hope you wore sequins xx
MM, you look like you can skate!! I would be clinging on around the outskirts. We were meant to go to Hampton Court ice skating but then eldest daughter came down with a bug that day. Next year…maybe we shall do Somerset House!
How fun! Saturday was lovely, thanks again MM…I finally took my bike home! yay! xxx LZ
That brings back good memories! Looks like fun – love the Tiffany’s cupcake store!
I am SO jealous of that enormous Tiffany’s box AND it had cupcakes?? Amazing.
Ooooh. How were the cupcakes?
How fab! I so wanted to walk inside a giant Tiffany box…. and never come out again!
@all the lovely ladies: funny how not a single guy commented on this post. Might have something to do with the content… Anyway, I didn’t get to try a single cupcake, because I went to a cupcake decorating course the very same morning, leaving me with a serious icing overdose and no desire for any more cupcake for the next 24 hours.
i’m a terrible skater but love somerset house skating nevertheless- it’s fun even hanging on to the side- anyone you can find!
This looks so wonderful, in Japan we don’t have such pretty places to ice skate. And the Tiffany box looks just divine…
Not to diss ice skating, but the Tiffany box with the cupcake inside? Definitely the highlight. Ha I been there, that is. There are no decent cupcakes in Switzerland, dammit.
Did I tell you you’d been tagged? Come on over to our place… The giant Tiffany box is the stuff of dreams, whoever planned it must have had a great time thinking it all up.
I just posted about Tiffany and I bought one of those enamel blue boxes for my dresser.
Thank you for your resource .. Great site !
