Polar Swim

Brrrr! It was a chilly twelve degrees this morning. Bracing!

The gang all met...socially distanced of course. People recognised Victoria and I from our Windermere swim pics and quite a few swimmers stopped to say hello as we did a lap of the dock. We got dressed in the car park...on the first floor by the wall that looks out over the water. It is like a little balcony (without the sun). We tried to warm up with our flasks of hot drinks. It wasn’t until I arrived home that I remembered I had bought a new hand warmer that heats up via a usb, I’m a dope! My hands were so cold I struggled to pick a shortbread biscuit up. I must take it next time.

I was really disappointed when I got a call this week to say the fire walking scheduled for tonight was being postponed until March. Oh well, at least it wasn’t cancelled.
