Scraping the ice by happypat

Scraping the ice

When we went to the cinema at the Flower Bowl the other day we had our toasted teacake & coffee by the side of the curling rink.
These guys were scraping the surface of the ice ready for play.

Three good things:
1. A good viewing but who knows if anything will come of it....they made all the right noises!
2. The Super Vet...what a great veterinary surgeon he is.
3. Tulips.
“They made all the right noises”, realtors live and die by those right noises! Your Flower Bowl has everything!

There are no railings around the ice rink - no good for me - I need them to cling on to! Cross fingers re home viewing though it sometimes takes a while before they get back to you.

@maggiemae Strangely no one seems to have any trouble walking on the ice maggie, in fact they actually run in front of the stone with a brush smoothing the ice. In ordinary shies too....must be different ice than skating ice perhaps!

Nice to people watching -- in this case men at work ! Keeping my fingers crossed for you re the positive viewing -- I think perhaps this is the right time of the year when punters are more in earnest in the new year and have got Christmas behind them !

Looks like a chilly job.

I used to love toasted teacakes, we don't get them here but we do get raisin toast though and that is nice.

Wow, I have never seen a curling rink before!

@phil_howcroft Yes indeed it’s the only one in the NW. the owners of the Flower Bowl are curlers them selves so instead of trek I g up to Dumfries area they have matches there.
