  2. He saw the weather written on the pane
    as he buckled on his gaiters,
    shouldering the hammer to walk the lane
    spooked with his breath, to the pond
    at the extremity of his acres…

  3. And so my first ever #curling #bonspiel comes to an end. It's been a blast, but an exhaustive blast 😅

    Akureyri Curling Club - Ice Cup: I hope to be back some day, and thank you for hosting ❤️

    I've tried the fermented shark, which people seems to dislike, but compared to the damn sour rams testicles, the shark was pure joy 😅

  4. I started curling last winter and this weekend I played in my first bonspiel! We got knocked out after 3 games in A bracket. Made it to the quarter finals and took a team of club founders to extra ends, felt good! 🥌

  6. A couple more from the Bonspiel.

    There's a nip in the air, but the bothy is warm and welcoming. Locals, young and old, enjoying an opportunity to gather for a dram and a blether. The names of all those attending - and the match scores themselves - are entered in a club record that goes back many decades. Good times.

  7. A floodlit end.

    A cold winter evening meeting of the LCCC - our Scottish Highland village's curling club. The pond froze sufficiently for a local bonspiel or league match with our neighbouring village. Kept toasty warm between matches with a wee nip or two amongst friends by the fire in the club's simple bothy hut.
