In January these two women came to see me with an idea for a book about wild swimming. Today, less than 19 months later, it was published, and launched at The Portobello Bookshop. Congratulations Anna Deacon and Vicky Allen on this joyous book, a loud hurrah to Black & White Publishing for acting so swiftly and creating this handsome book. Working with Anna and Vicky has inspired me to plunge into the Atlantic in March, into a Cairngorm Loch in May, a slate quarry in July and to swim off Garlieston in September. Taking The a Plunge, as featured on front of The Times, in today’s Scotsman, and on television, is out now.

Currently reading this myself. Very enjoyable and makes you think long after one her essays has finished.

Tiger by #pollyclark - this sweeping story of survival and redeeming love is the perfect novel to read by the fire in Scotland - or by the pool in Mexico on honeymoon. Thanks Davy & Yvie for sending!

View from 27th floor of Parktower in Frankfurt captured at a Book Fair Reception hosted by the British Ambassador, the Hon Consul and British Council Germany. Wonderful collection of guests from Germany, Wales, Scotland, England & India. Robert Harris guest of honour. Crazy reflection down to inexperienced operative (me).
