Winter Swim

When today's air temperature is -2C and the North Sea's waters are somewhere between 8C and 10C, the logical thing to do is....

....to go for a swim. After all, the sun is out....

....the waves are gentle and, to enter into the festive spirit....

....what's supposed to be the dog's coat does the job of a Santa hat.

Of course once the swim's over, and everyone has been told how beautifully warm it is in, the sensible thing is to....

....get dressed and go shopping.
