I’m utterly addicted to open water swimming now, not sure if I’ve mentioned it?
I know I’m a bore, but I think everyone would be as enthusiastic if they tried it too. Especially as in September I got caught up in a cloud of swallows flying straight into me as I swam out away from land.
Their ruby eyes taking me in as they swooped close as all birds seem to do when I’m out in the sea to satisfy their curiosity, and in turn I got to see how shimmery their blue armour was.
Even in late October I saw the odd, lonely, straggler which is strange. But I have plenty of other bird and mammilian company in the water …
