It was a very warm day yesterday, considering it’s early May. I was in shorts, that’s how hot it was! In the late afternoon at low tide, Helen and I decided to have a walk down by the sea with the dogs. I was surprised to see three lads playing around and swimming in the water for what seemed like a long time and not looking cold at all. This surprised me as I know that the sea warms up over the course of the summer and reaches it’s peak in early September. Yet when I asked them as they came out if it was cold, I was told:
“No, it’s lovely in there”
If today turns out fine as well, as it looks like it will, I will try it for myself this afternoon. The wet feet I got yesterday felt pretty cold, but maybe it will be alright once I get in. As you’ll see from the picture of the 3 lads above, two of them are reasonably well insulated and one isn’t, yet they all said it was fine. I incline towards the well insulated myself so I have no excuse really, do I?
Cheers, Tom.
