There's something about this time of transition towards autumn equinox that feels me with delight.
It's changeability, and the way that it can be everything pretty much at the same time. We...

Lost in time
It's been trickier to wake up/get up yesterday and today... As if I was heavier. Definitely felt as if there was a stone on me. Anybody experiencing this these days.
Yesterday I hear a podca...
Bye bye August
I took these pics a couple of days ago. They summarise somehow the warmth, light of the last few days/weeks in my spot. Today is cloudy and forecast is rain for the next week. A turn. Embracing cha...

This morning I was running some errands which were luckily near the sea... So I stopped and visited my beloved! Sea was pretty rough so I played with the waves on the shore, immersing like a seal a...

Such a delightful time, full of autumnal light.
What's your favourite pic?
I love the patterns of the light+water!!!
Very cold dip!
Today I went on a hike and at the end I had a dip here; sweet little spot, surprisingly freezing! It was more like my river in early winter. I had forgotten how it was to get red feet!
Real...
Salty morning dip
It seems that the only way I go to the beach in August is if I sleep there and go to the sea early in the morning.
So peaceful and wonderful to witness sunrise (even if I couldn't see sun, beca...
Not much sleep
I woke up super early today. It was nice to start my day doing yoga in the darkness, with a candle and then going for a swim. I feel energised in a gentle way.

These days I feel like I'm running like a headless chicken; going from one task to the other, and again, and something else popping out, and this and that! Blimey, it's August, in theory a time to ...

Early Monday morning swim 🙏🏽
After a cosy weekend not going anywhere but my nearest surroundings, I feel energised and ready for whatever is to come!
May you start the week smo...
Surrendered
Earlier on this summer the photographer Paula Huijer (@paulahaphotography) took a series of pictures of me in the water.
We had never met before and the only thing we knew was that the seri...
Crystal clear water
Can you see the little trout nibbling my feet and legs? I really love this sensation; lucky me it happens everyday. Today I managed to capture a couple of them in action. The water is so clear, it ...

Yesterday's early dip was really playful. I played with sun's rays appearing behind the trees, making their way to my skin. Such a joy to feel a slight warmth in the freshness of the start of the d...

Yesterday my MOT mission failed (they couldn't give me an appointment for the day...)..I couldn't say that I drove for nothing because at least it was close to a nudist beach and I managed to go fo...

Some more snippets from my reunion with river after nearly a couple of weeks away! Blessed!

Back home, back to my river. I left on 1st August, and many changes have happened.
I come back inspired, full of love and gratitude, and trust. Also pretty tired... Normal, after such busy a...
Wildswimming at last
I don't remember last time I didn't had a dip for more than a couple of days...
Today I finally managed to had a swim in wild waters, in the sea, after having been inmersed in a camp runnin...
Woodland faerie
A wonderful dip I had the other day... My consciousness there really shifted, losing track of time, amongst melodies and lyrics that kept coming out... the voice of the stream 🙏🏽❤️

Some pics from a few days ago, in the Garden of Eden (how I name this particular place). Love it
New adventures ahead
Last swim in my river for a little while as I'm going away to deliver Qigong sessions at a festival abroad; I'm very excited and I've been told there's a river nearby 🙏🏽
I'll keep you ...
Waters clearing up
It's taking quite some time for the water to clear up; there has probably been a landslide somewhere upstream!
So refreshing to swim early this morning when air temperatures are comfortable....
After summer storms
This morning the river was radically changed. So much rain last evening and night rose the level of the water at least 25cm. Beautiful summer storms and gladly received water (I don't need to water...

I went for a swim before 8am this morning, surprisingly warmer water temperature. Perfect stillness in the hamlet, not a human sound, just water and birds. Perfect start of an interesting week!

Taking care
30 degrees in the sun means frequent swims in the river 🙏🏽

Such a good idea to stay overnight by this river that I love... Beautiful morning swim, very sensuous
Reward after a busy day
I couldn't wait to go into the river after a busy day working in two places (lovely drive between them btw, it looked like being in France!).
The river was fresh, the air really warm (around 30 ...
