Today’s swim had the kids along. They stayed on dry land and explored the riverbank while we swam. You could see your frosty breath while you were in the water- a first for me. Still in a love hate relationship with wading through thigh deep autumn leaves. The ginger tea and biscuits were very necessary post swim. Sunny day- but no sun down in the river. Total buzz as usual! #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #mumlife #waterofleith #riverswimming
October jaunt up Calton Hill. This time three years ago we were exploring in Barcelona. I’m looking forward to visiting further afield again, but in the meantime I love doing local tourist things. Our outing to see these spectacular views also incorporated a couple of city errands and a catch up with pals. Can’t ask for better than that on a day out. #scotland #edinburgh #CaltonHill #caltonhilledinburgh #windyday #mumlife
Getting colder, but still swimming. The thick carpet of autumn leaves under the water is a little disconcerting, but once you wade through those it’s all good. Quite a few friendly dogs visited us today. #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #waterofleith #mumlife
The river was up this week. Thanks @emma.oconnor.author for the picture. #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #waterofleith #scotland #womenswimming
Yesterday’s wild swim was followed by a cycle a little further up the river to read and listen to poetry with a lovely group of children and adults. Couldn’t have had a better #nationalpoetryday. After a very hectic week I felt blessed by every part of yesterday- from the lovely company for our swim, the unseasonably warm weather and the utter magic of sharing poetry and creativity by the river. #poetry #wildswimming #wildlife
Many of the conversations we had during this Thursdays swim were around the female body. Until I was thirty I felt my body - my belly and my boobs needed to be kept hidden away. It was a radical liberating act to purchase a bikini before my 30th birthday- and ten years and two babies later I’ve kept wearing them. This photo was taken in Turkey the year I turned 30- and I could hate it, and hide it, but actually I love it. My relationship with my body is still complicated-but I was (and am) strong, happy in the water and proud of all the things my body can do. #bodypositive #body #womensbodies #womensbodiesareamazing
