so being able to skate on one leg is actually a crucial and useful skill and building block.

Er, well, yes! Don't you skate from one foot, and then the other anyway? Argh I really want a go again! I bet I can't rollerskate at all but want to do it. I am enjoying your minute descriptions of e.g lifting foot from floor etc, really! :) (as a former ice skater - dunno if wheels make it different - so much of what you say I know from being on blades and breaking it all down is all... !!)

Doesn't mean I can do it reliably.

Didn't know you used to skate - maybe I'll pick your branes instead! :-)

Well no, but... you knew it was the thing you were *going* to be doing! Ooh I want a go on roller skates now. I was never great at skating though so stick with yr existing 'crew' :)

I went up to Roller City in Welwyn this evening, it's a bit further for you to travel but no complaints about the floor there.

I've heard good things about Rollerworld in Colchester too.
