14 March

 Look at this photo. The colours, the clear water, the fearless bather


Yes, it's Poppi again with Rusty, their cocker spaniel...enjoying a cool winter swim.
It was around 16oC yesterday.  The water? Freezing. I'm sure. 

Her sister went for a 13 kilometre run instead.




She gave us a wave as she passed our cul de sac up in the hills

  1. Big smile when I saw the waving hand😊

    Your first photo looks unreal….I don’t mean ‘altered’ just too good to be true. Beautiful Mediterranean water

    1. If my daughter hadn't told me she had taken it herself I would have thought so too. But sometimes on a fine day in winter the sea is like this. So calm so clear and that very blue sky

    1. The colours in that photo are terrific. The sky is so blue and the sea has marvellous colours. Winter! No people!

    1. Of course we wished she had called in for a quick stop but she gave us a wave instead and didnt break the rythym
