Spring is not just ‘in the air’ she is on the ground and surfing the sea. My winterphobic bones are enthusiastic and ready to gad about a bit.

Two solid days of sunshine puts gallivanting back on the daily schedule.

Not that I was ever brave enough to quit my job and go gallivanting around the globe.

I am a small ‘g’ galivanter. Almost certainly because of my family circumstances.When I was at the peak big ‘G’ gallivanting stage, I needed to be responsible and stick around because my mum developed an untreatable neurological condition when she was in her mid 40’s.

As it turns out having to moderate youthful big ‘G’ gallivanting taught me to really max out on small ‘g’ gallivanting. A useful life skill I think.

The last winter bob of the 24/25 bobbing season.

A super sunshine day to blow away February and Meteorological Winter. It was a low-tide swim and swim shoes were needed.

I did not do quite so well on that.

But cold feet and a rocky walk into the water is not a combination I could tolerate so two left feet it was.

We still have two months of very cold water to swim in. Yesterday was 9.4. It could have been worse.

My two left feet were absolutely fine, when you can’t feel your feet they don’t care who they are.

The refreshments of the day were a glorious lemon cake and salted caramel chocolate bites. Worth every moment of our chilly swimming.
