BOLD & BEAUTIFUL IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING INSIDE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19).
Hey groovers! I’ve estimated we are around week 4 of staying at home in isolation and whilst the days have been glorious and offered swimming perfection, as the sun sets, things can get a little, well…boring. So I am dedicating this blog to putting the ‘soul’ back into isolation.
This weekend you can be social dis-dancing with your family and neighbours and I have made a play list for you guys to get down in lockdown. Without further adieu, shake up your favourite quarantini ( that’s just a normal martini but you drink it by yourself ) sanitise, sterilise and synthesize!

Stay well, keep smiling, keep swimming (in accordance with covid-19 health regs. of course) and keep dis-dancing.

Sunset off Long Reef Headland
Something to watch:
A Kiwi film-maker and outdoor swimmer based in London, Patrick McLennan, thought B&B swimmers might be interested in watching his film, The Ponds, about the all year-round swimmers of Hampstead Heath, London. We are sure it will resonate with many of our swimmers and is a nice feel good story of healthy, well-being and passion for the cold water buzz, a nice light relief movie to enjoy at this time…

Hi Anne, Yep..they did. The Angels covered it in 1986. Along with a heap of other bands too. I prefer the Angels version cause I love the sax solo. Either/or though…both tracks a re great.
