Hello all,

Janet and I continue to be thrilled with the support that the Lido Guide is getting, and one of our staunchest supporters is Sarah Thelwall, or @indianabrambles as some of you will know her on twitter. She is also busily swimming her way round the lidos and sea pools of the UK (and beyond!) Given how grateful we are to her for her support it is a delight to have our very first guest post penned by Sarah.

Please do share the lido road trip posts if you enjoy them, and there is still plenty of time for lido road trips before the seasonal pools begin to close so please do tell us all about your own trips. We certainly haven't finished just yet... I'm literally about to head out the door to catch a train to Brighton, and I am very much looking forward to swimming in Pells Pool tomorrow.

Emma.
