Managed to skate at a few different rinks without getting told off, including a decentish temporary rink (Braintree shopping village - good size and covered so ice is good for a temp rink).
Managed some approximation of an Ina Bauer in my old age. I think what has helped is strength training, to hold myself in position.
Also managed a "little man" position sitting right back in my heels, inspired by the kids messing around under a limbo bar, without falling on my backside. I'll be doing teapots next
