I am going for my first swim of the year this afternoon. Going for a walk and then a swim somewhere, maybe not in my usual spot as it has become too busy for my liking. In previous years, I have swam throughout the winter, but I didn't do that this year because it is pretty brutal and I am trying to be more gentle in more aspects of my life. Anyway, I have just checked the sea temperature around here. 6 degrees so not quite ice water temperature, but not far off. I am going to lay the fire before I set off so an easy light when I return! I feel cold already.
