Dearest pledgers,
Spring is upon us, and the sunshine reveals all. In my case that includes arms that are reminiscent of just set blancmange, thanks to very little actual swimming over the winter. But the sun also encourages the greenery that has been lying dormant in the countryside to show itself, and it encourages the seasonal lido lovers to show themselves.
Many seasonal pools are yet to open, but this weekend marked the flinging open of the doors at two of the season's earliest openers; Topsham and Petersfield.
I snatched an early season lido road trip to Petersfield after work today - and if any of you want to try to tell me that it is utterly unreasonable to make a 3.5 hour round trip for a 30 minute swim, after already having done a full day at work, you can put up your dukes and we'll take it outside.
Because outside is where we like it, right?
Enjoy the season to come, we hope you are as excited as we are.
Emma.
