I don’t know about you, but I love an inspirational quote. Each morning that I come down to do the B&B swim I am reminded of the quote that I have used for today’s blog.   It is not too hard to have a grateful heart when you start the day by looking at a beautiful sunrise...

Firstly…. a big Thank you to Nomad Brewery for last nights beer tasting & talk.   And also to our friends at  Dial-a-drink   That’s something you don’t see every day ! Two Ian’s at the John 😉 Scene of the crime ! last night’s beer tasting. Dial-a-Drink crew, plus extended family. Needs a drink...

The spacey blues at this hour of the morning being chased out by the early morning light and the pitter patter of footsteps out the front door as one of kids dashed out for a run to the beach before school in what felt like the middle of the night but was actually 5:30. It...

Moon and morning star @ 5.48am   Lee walks  her dog from 5-6am every morning.   I swam with today’s 6am crew: Mark, Fifi, Ali, Robbie, Susie, Dave, Thor (Jackson’s replacement), Ian, Dorset.   Temp has dropped.   A birthday kiss.   Off to the point   Pen and paper on the beach   Sunshine...

Reading through the blog in recent times, in particular the photo selection, I am a bit reminded of a quote from George Orwell’s animal farm: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Rarely a day goes by without countless photos of our B&B celebrities: A-team, management including inner circle, Lips,...

  What a beautiful morning to be out and about in Manly.  The morning was a little cloudy but still just divine.  Sorry I didn’t get there early enough to catch the 6.30 drinky express.  This swim is gaining in popularity with many doing the 6.30 swim with Andrew and the team and then backing...
