Thursday 26 December – Boxing Day wrapping makes the present

Like you I’ve spent the last few days wrapping presents, unwrapping  presents, and watching presents unwrapped. And now I’ve got a different perspective on boxes and Boxing Day. I think of boxes we put presents in, the extra care we take to wrap a present for someone we care about, because we want to surprise them, with a little extra care. A wrapped present just works better for the giver and the receiver. I love watching a child unwrap a present they are obviously delighted with. It’s a little extra care people like Ian & John take to run the swim, with awesome ‘middle management’ like Anne & Shaun and countless others. The extra care looking after newbies, checking conditions, and warmly greeting us all. It’s how the B&B care.And attracts people that makes us the premier ocean swim group in the world. A little extra care that makes the present of our swim just more of a treasure. Here are some  of the lucky ones who enjoyed an ocean present this morning.

May your life unwrap like a treasured present…
