Skating in Roswinkel in 1993

Skating in Roswinkel in 1993, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Here is Fred back in the winter of 1993 skating on the canal which linked his parents' house and his own birthplace to the local village of Roswinkel.

Notice the perfect ice with just the marks of the skats scratching the surface.

Today it snowed all day. I went out for a cycle ride into the country and got soaking wet, but it was good to be out and to feel the winter. It looks like we will have a dryish week ahead with maybe some sun on Tuesday and Wednesday.
