One topic of conversation raised by Rob this morning at coffee was, “What are the lyrics for the song Blinded by the Light?” Yesterday Chris and I were sitting on […]

A smaller showing this morning but still an enthusiastic bunch when you see the distance these idiots swam. Not in the same league as Party of one Ian S. but […]
It’s hot, sunny & not London. In the week we’ve been here I think I’ve heard 2 foreign accents – Italy in 2020 is for the Italians (+ us!). The […]
Ed and I ventured down for a leisurely Sunday swim at the very reasonable time of 7.30am. I noticed that the always diligent Ruth had recorded a delightful 15C at […]

IDIOTS !
Bravo to all the brave souls…Dave U, Dave S. and Ed (our best wishes to your Mum/grand-ma guys), Bevan,Chris & of course Sutho chasing up the rear…who then took off for another kilometre swim without us…
