George Orwell

[edit]

It seems that George Orwell was an enthusiastic ice skater at Streatham: 'Taylor adds that the correspondence fills in gaps in Orwell’s highly “compartmentalised life” in the 1930s. “Not least that one of his great hobbies was ice-skating. As soon as winter came around, he would get his skates up from Southwold and head for Streatham ice rink.” ' https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/27/george-orwell-how-romantic-walks-with-girlfriends-inspired-nineteen-eighty-four JezGrove (talk) 21:36, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
