Happy Saturday from Copenhagen! The past couple of weeks have been properly wintery here. We’ve had subzero temperatures, strong winds and heavy snowfall. And the sea actually froze over!
That only happens about every five years or so, so it feels very special. The power of Mother Nature! Imagine being able to walk on the sea.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped us! I’ve been winterdipping in slush ice and snow with friends. Remember, safety first. We would never go in, unless we have checked out the conditions and are prepared for emergencies.
Here I am with my Bestie (and iceswimming partner in crime) Sue. There’s something about doing slightly wild things together that makes these long dark months brighter, ha ha!
And here I am again, with my sweet friend, Angela!
Dipping in slush ice is such a strange sensation. You can’t move around in the sea, you can almost sit down, like in a chair. Fun!
The sauna at the bathing club was closed for renovations so Angela and I warmed up afterwards with coffee and cake at a local cafe.
Yum!
And well deserved, I’d say!
Have you ever tried cold water swimming? Or are you firmly in the “watch from the side with a hot drink” camp?
I’m always on such a high when I come out of the water. Love it!
Have a super Saturday and keep warm out there!
Hugs
