Beautiful balmy bathing

What a beautiful day! It felt like a reward for heading into lockdown#2. And just the best day for a sea swim!

Jen plunged straight in and then scared us all with the strength of her swear words! Rachel was the next brave plunger and then Katie, Tracy, Manuel and I followed suit.

We can't pretend it wasn't cold, but we stayed in longer than we thought because it was lovely once we were used to it. The sea was flat calm and not a cloud in the sky.

And then the endorphin rush and the smugness factor afterwards made it soooo worth it.

We stayed on the seafront for ages, drinking coffee and hot chocolate, bathed in sunshine, reminding ourselves how very beautiful the Solent is.

So a December swim is on the cards... maybe in pairs... maybe in a group.
