Candlelit Lunch! yes Saturdays in Sussex in January, you too can experience this phenomenon of gloom
outside the Rain is wind swirled into a cold, soggy grey, flannel flurry… allegedly, i haven’t braved it yet.
hiatus, plans scuppered. surrendered… at home, there are certainly worse places to be
photo: #filter … deffo a filter… one of summer spun brightness, just so you can see the plate
was supposed to be about the vegan cheese… i bought up a barrel load of reduced priced festive selection boxes
many of which claim to be superior at melting?… greed and science experiments… hobbies combine
got somewhat swamped by the salad! i know, probably not wise to eat salad in January… but still in a mood of chuck it all in extravaganza!
mango and avocado and tomatoes!
with support from spinach, peppers, olives
walnuts, chia seeds, hemp hearts… lemon, apple cider vinegar, and other motley dressings
yum. instagrin. hodge podge. right…. outside for a stroll

happy new year. first foot forward
gratitude for the sunlight. for the heave and swell of the ocean. for the miraculous, perfect beauty of our bodies
wishing you all, hmmm: love, wisdom and humorous exuberance for the year to come… trust it will be a good ‘un

sea swim! it’s not cold. honest injun. and that’s not just bluster and wim hoffery!
winter sea dunks are fine, the water itself is comparatively balmy (march is far colder)
its all the flummery that makes it tricky… usually a biting wind chill when you get out… tho today, warmest new year forever (NOT a good thing)… this morning, as around high tide, was choppier than i’d usually go in
at any rate for warmth, i’m full christmas blubberous, plus a lustrous luxuriance of pelt… perfectly evolved for the vita aquatica!
didn’t manage to swim on christmas day, as too poorly, first year not in forever… boo… so first swim in 6 weeks …. and pedal too! the thrill and joy of movement! hurrah!
blessings and vibes for 2022 x
