Natural History Museum Ice Skating Rink

ice rink natural history museumWe’re pretty sure during some time this month you’ll ask yourself THE question. It’s the same question that pops up year after year – it never gets old. And if you already haven’t, then we suggest you get it over and done with.

OMG! Is it Christmas already?

That’s the million pound question that has a one pound answer … yes. The follow up questions will have the exact same answer too. Has this year gone by extremely fast? Do I need to start my Christmas shopping? And am I going to gain an extra pound? [yes, yes and hell yes].

After realising that Christmas is just around the corner,  we decided to do our first ‘Christmasy thing’. Usually, buying a bottle of mulled wine is first on our to-do list but this year we made an exception.

Outdoor ice skating at the Natural History Museum was the perfect way to start this festive season.

Let’s set the record straight once and for all, when we’re skating – we don’t like mega talented skaters. Yes, we’re talking to you show offs – you frighten the daylight out of us [and make us feel incredibly jealous].
