My soul is ageless.
Sometimes I wake up and I'm five.
I still want to believe in magic and pixie dust...
Sometimes I wake up and I'm 15.
I have strength and I feel I can change the world...
Sometimes I wake up and I'm 30.
I step on the earth, but I know I can fly...
Sometimes I wake up and I'm 60.
I have the experience and I want to share.
Offer the tranquility and wisdom of time,
that doesn't stop, that heals, that heals...
Sometimes I wake up and I don't know how old I am and
nor how many passed.,,
And it's in the soul, full of love and memories
that I feel all ages,
showing me a rich and precious life.
And that's where I find my great treasure,
a beautiful patchwork quilt,
unique, original and that bears my signature.
And on it is written:
"LIFE!''

Just some safety advice and tips , as the weather takes a turn for the cold side , which we haven’t seen in almost 3 years . Water is below 9c and dropping and air temps will be down to -3c with frost and sleet and possibly snow . Many of you who are newish to Traditional Winter Swimming will not have experienced this before .
When you are going for a dip or swim , stay as warm as you can for as long as you can before you get in the water . Wearing 2 swim hats will reduce brain freeze ( a bit 🙄)
Never swim alone , go in a group if you can or at least have someone watching you .
If you are dipping ,try to stay moving in the water , a bit of aqua jogging is good . And if you are swimming stay within your depth along by the shore .
The cold easterly breeze will strip any heat right out of you and catch you before you know it .
A good rule of thumb in these conditions is 1 minute per degree of water temp . Currently 9c but expect 7 to 8 by the weekend . Another trick is to try and whistle ...if you can’t ..get out !
Bring a bottle of warm water to pour on your feet afterwards ...trust me 🥶😄
Get dried off and dressed in warm loose clothing and a warm hat as quickly you can . Your fingers will be numb and not working as normal for tying shoes , zips etc .
Dont use a lockbox for your keys as you may not be able to open it with cold fingers .
Have a hot drink .
Don’t drive until you have warmed up ..shivering is a normal process of warming up . And please tell someone if you feel unwell ! Stay safe and enjoy it ! Remember ..you are responsible for you every time you decide to enter the water ! Kevin
Edit ...
“In English, the phrase rule of thumb refers to an approximate method for doing something, based on practical experience rather than theory”
