Bob at Woodup Pool

A Christmas Eve busy morning with chores. G had his last day in work before retirement and I had the house to myself for a good spring clean. 

Highlight of the day was to meet up with M LaM and M for a fabulous cold water swim at Woodup Pool.  Recently refilled,  it was perfect. No wind, clear sky and warmer than recently.  We plunged in for  a 6 degree swim, made it to the furthest buoy and powered back. Thrilling. After a quick change we shared mince pies, stollen and a fantastic mulled cider. A thoroughly fantastic time.

The evening G and I went to the annual (unofficial) Carol sing at the Quay. There must have been nearly 1,000 folk there. A lovely atmosphere with mulled wine and mince pies. A great end to a perfect day.
