Coldstream girls
Toasting in my bed
on Sunday morning, I wasn't that enthusiastic about the idea of a dip in the
freezing cold Dart. Temperatures have bombed in the last few days. But when we
arrived at Spitchwick I immediately felt excited; the ground was frosted and
white, and the delicate branches of the trees pointed nakedly into the sky. Our
attire ranged from nothing at all (Judy - what a woman) through cossie/glove
combos (Anna, Yaara and Rachel) to full wetsuit, boots, and gloves topped with
Russian fur hat (me). The hat, while incredibly warm, is very big and came over
my eyes, somewhat cramping my style and prompting comparisons with those
soldiers who stand outside Buckingham Palace. The air temperature was 0.6,
while the water was 3.2; where would you rather be?

It was awesome Mr Ape!
Looks like Narnian joy. Will bring my furry hat to next one xxx
Furry hat 'n' swimming gear is the new 'look du jour'!
Well done Anna and the rest! It's still tropical up here on the West Coast at about 8 degrees!
sounds positively balmy!
