Last swim of the year yesterday. I headed over to Shoalstone beach to enjoy the beautiful winter sun, laying low in the clear blue sky.

The air temperature was 1°C, with the sea temperature 9.something °C. I don’t take a thermometer and the temperature recorded online is only the surface temperature detected by satellites, so I’m told.

I’ve noticed that it’s mainly women who sea swim daily. Is it because women do it for health and social reasons or are we just a bit bonkers?

Head over to Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeD-NZMal-/) for a clip which shows all the cruise liners at anchor in the bay. I’m looking forward to hearing the ship’s whistle from each of them as the clock strikes midnight tonight. It’s an eerie sound, as their low level horns echo across the bay and into the town.

I want to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year and beyond! Thank you for all your support and for taking the time to respond to my wordy posts and many stories.

Every day I get a little bit older and for that I’m truly grateful. Each silver hair is a memory of a good day. Luckily I have lots of them.

I’m looking forward to more wrinkles, silver hair and laughter lines. It’s evidence of a life well lived.

Stay safe. Much love to each and every one of my gorgeous sisters and misters.

I meant to post this earlier but Seb called and asked me if I fancied a 15 mile hike and I simply couldn’t refuse. So I laced up my walking shoes and headed off for the afternoon, crossing the river dart by small ferry and then along the river to Totnes.

It’s incredibly hilly here, and quite hard going (Seb sets quite a pace) but after a couple of stops at country pubs for a pint of cider, the hills got easier. I’m now sat by a log fire, toasting my tired toes.

The John Muir trail is a picturesque and wonderful hiking trail, which you can follow in many directions. I highly recommend it if you are a capable hiker and want to see some outstanding vistas in south Devon.

My hair today is a side braid on one side and a side pony tail on the other.
