On running down to the shore to catch the early swimmers this morning, I was assaulted (yes assaulted!) by a truly awful smell. So awful I can’t think of a family friendly way to describe it so I won’t even try. We all need our immune systems to be working in this time of plague,...

Well Autumn has sprung – if that can be an expression – and today I was sprung by Bruce from the A Team as he noted I only photograph the good looking. True. I blog the BB swimming group which is comprised of swimmers all of whom are good looking and, being swimmers above average...

Another wet and choppy morning swim with a low turnout as you would expect. You’ll see from the smiles below, the damp weather didn’t affect these swimmers, because we know about the affects weather can have on our mood and wellbeing. It’s not surprising that the temperature gives us lots of metaphors for moods. With...

There were two schools of thought, in addition to schools of fish, on the conditions of the swim today! Sue Marinan gave it thumbs down with words along the lines of gloomy, dark, bumpy, wet, cold! Ros Ex and Petra, on the other hand, thought it was fabulous, glorious, beautiful and smooth at Shelly. Petra,...

  Coming into Autumn and then Winter, the later sunrises are a photographer’s dream – regardless of the conditions there is always something to delight and amaze. Actually we are very fortunate that we are able to interact with the seasonal cycles all year around, especially those of us who work indoors. Some of the...

Hi everyone, well the last day of summer has really turned it on for us – sunshine and a clear calm ocean. What a way to greet the weekend! The early ones Still quiet at 6:38 – the early swimmers have left… where is everyone? The stalwarts Quite a few newbies Brendan and Brad…. did...

A gorgeous sunny day today to swum. Water is calm and getting clearer. Not only was the turtle spotted – by others – but there was also a massive dusky at the point – spotted by others – and also a fever of cow nosed rays. I saw them. Thanks to Fiona and Gemma. Unbelievably...

A goodly amount of cloud cover meant that it was very dark this morning. This did not discourage the early swimmers of which there was a huge number today. Bit of seaweed washed up on the shore but I am glad it was not in the sea. On the baton transfer between early and 7...
