No time to go for a swim this week. Having to make do instead with looking at snaps of the sea taken after swims last week. Freezing - but oh so beautiful!

Swimming between rain showers early this morning. Fab to be back in the sea following a break whilst in London for work. (Fab to be in London too, mind you.)

Swimming in Galway Bay early this morning, with the Clare hills in the distance. Beach was deserted, apart from me, one other swimmer and some seagulls. Bliss!

Early morning swim yesterday. (Slightly later) early morning walk today. It's true what they say about the early bird and the worm (sorry, worm).
