Some said we were crazy.... but 5 of us were determined to have a sea swim in October, even if it was a grey, wet day and the sea didn't look very inviting. Jen even came straight to the beach after a night shift!

So, as the rain hammered down, Lynn, Rachel, Jen, Val and I put our clothes into plastic bags and made a dash for the water.

But as the adage goes...it was lovely once you were in, and we stayed in for about 30 minutes, bobbing in the waves, doing the running man to keep warm and having a natter and a laugh.

After changing in the public loos, and a hot drink in the Coffee Cup for some, we headed off to Community Missions at the Lido or to the beach clean (and Jen hoped to get a few hours in bed!)

Somewhat crazily, I think we sort of made a pact to do the same in November and maybe in December too!
