Waking Up

Over the past few weeks, we've started several days by going for a swim before breakfast. This morning looked like the last calm one before some storms arrive in Wales, we we set an alarm and were out in the valley with sleep still in our eyes. 

After watching some baby greebs ducking around, Clare went in first with an ambitious sprint entry technique. I was hoping to get a photo of her walking on water, but didn't quite manage it!

The water felt shockingly cold today! It did the trick for waking us up though!

This is my perfect entry dive - out of the sky and into the deep waters! (or maybe it was just an underwater handstand).

We had a few more tries to capture a walk on water moment, but didn't quite succeed before we were too cold to try again!

The warm air on the banks felt lovely and the sun came up over the mountain ridge just when we needed it most!

Back at The Cottage, we had coffee and pain au chocolates for breakfast, followed shortly after with a very nice lunch, before embarking on an afternoon of visits to friends.
