The air temperature has taken a tumble over the last few days but the water remains just spectacular for our Bold and Beautiful swims.   This is my favourite time to swim as the water is nice and clear, there is plenty to see and the summer crowds have all given up, leaving just the...

As the weather man talked up the wind chill factor & significant drop in temps for the week, it didn’t deter B&B swimmers and just as well!

As a kid my favourite book was Noddy & his bumpy dog. I loved that bumpy dog, not Noddy, because I had a bumpy dog too I called Nipper. Life was more fun with my bumpy dog because he reminded me life was for living and the best bits were the bumpy bits. Now fast...
