This beautiful creature is Clara Peters. She’s the first Irish figure skate in history to compete at an international level.
The year I finally get to realise a childhood dream and go to the European Figure Skating Championship, fate has intervened and given me an Irish skater to root for.
I’m so excited I could burst. There is an eight year old girl who used to sit with her mummy and watch Philippe Candeloro who simply cannot believe that I’m about go leave to get a train to meet my mother in Sheffield to see this for real.
I can’t wait.
I’ll see everyone next week. Have a lovely weekend and have lots of stories to tell me when i get back - and prepare yourselves for an overdose of ridiculous figureskating nerdgasms!!!
the best time baby!
