With their metal blades, ice skates aren't renowned for being the lightest of footwear.
But as she headed to ice-skating rehearsals in London yesterday, Tana Ramsay looked like she was going for a weekend break as she carried her heavy skates in a suitcase.
Accompanied by her son Jack, the cookery book writer, 35, was dressed for skating practice - and the snowy day outside - in a padded gilet, leggings and beanie hat.

Gordon Ramsay's wife has plenty of work to do after her lacklustre first dance on Dancing On Ice last weekend.
The celebrity chef was seen watching with his hand to mouth in disbelief as his Lycra-clad wife was hoisted high in the air by her professional partner Stuart Widdall.
After her performance to Take My Breath Away last week, which only received 12.5 points, Tana admitted it was the 'scariest thing' she had ever done.
She said: 'I just wanted to get it done and not over-think it and just enjoy it and you know, I really loved it. It is probably the scariest thing I have ever, ever done.'

Judge Jason Gardiner was heavily critical of her performance: 'Lyrical, romantic, expressive that was not.
'There was absolutely no connection between you and Stuart. I felt that you were being very heavily reliant on Stuart.
'I know you are not a dancer so you really have to work even more at conveying a performance and emoting. There was nothing going on in your face, you had hands like paddles, the list could go on.'
However, his fellow judge Nicky Slater was slightly more encouraging: 'I think firstly, your family will say well done, your friends will say well done and you can feel proud of yourself for having done that as a performer.
'Having said that, there is a little bit of a mountain to climb at the moment. What came over for me is that there are gaps in what you do.
'You can do it, just don’t stop between the movements and then we will see a big improvement.'
