Grasmere

Up in Cumbria working for a week or so. Today was my day off so went for a swim with some swimmers I've met through work colleagues - Becky and Lucy. The water is very cold up here - not yet suffering any shocked breathing, but I'd guess it was 6 or 7 degrees. My feet started to go almost as soon as I got in. Lasted about five minutes, but have felt dazzlingly refreshed ever since. Unfortunately working 9am to 9pm for the rest of the week, so will only be able to gaze longingly at the waters various as we drive by in our hired white van to locations around the Lakes.
