Of fish, fowl and food

Brennmanet, or stinging jellyfish, my biggest nightmare and the reason I require an escort with oars!

St Harald of Assisi

Life is but a dream

Harald rowed alongside me during my second swim: a chance to play with reflections

Swimming with seal cubs

My first swim on Bjornsund was in the company of these playful pups, who were as excited about the cakes we are serving as they were about having a new swim mate.

Cold, even in a wet suit!

Bjørnsund: an island adrift in the sky

The summer wind has brought us here - a small island off the west coast of Norway, near Molde and Bud.
Should you wish to come and visit, please do! Here is some info on Bjørnsund.

The school where we run a cafe

The bear which gives the island its name

Our home, where we'd love you to come and see this droplet of heaven for yourselves :)

Cavalier at the Cavalieri

February workshop in Malta and the sea is definitely warm, though nobody else seems to think so!

Nordic Polar Bears

Several groups of swimmers meet every Saturday for a dip in the sea: just missed the hail today

 

Why the hurry to get out?!
