Nothing like a dip in the morning to start the day off. Solstice (our shortest day) passed much like any other day with the thought that the days would start getting longer by a second a day! Will it be noticed for a while? Your morning swim sounds so delightful that I felt I was there too, possibly minus my knickers 😆
You could start something... 🌞 I've never really made much of it before, either - but perhaps it's because I did do this, this year, it seemed I noticed the day more than previously. It was definitely a long one!!
An unforgettable way to celebrate the summer solstice! Perfect weather, and being with other like minded people, must have added to the enjoyment. I hope you bought your cinnamon bun on the way home too.
Definitely! It was so perfect. No to the cinnamon bun, but I managed to find some croissants in the supermarket. See, I even managed to do the grocery shopping and still got home before anyone was up!
A wonderful piece of writing, loved hearing about your early morning dip. You write so beautifully, it is like listening to you talking, so natural and friendly.

You are definitely a writer - you wrote this, and all the other posts, and they are entertaining and utterly relatable. I enjoy them every time I get around to reading them. (And I have swimming envy now, as I write this from a wet little trip to Bergen - other bits of the trip were glorious through, so not complaining).

lol!! Breezy! I’m trying to block out the idea that the days are now getting shorter over here 🙈 Happy winter solstice!!
Sounds like a lovely start to a lovely day! Unfortunately I’ve never lived where the solstice is celebrated.

Sounds like a lovely way to see in the solstice sunrise
Thanks Gina! I think getting up and out early is good whether it’s swimming or walking - best time of day, I’m sure you’ll agree!
Absolutely!

Ah, loved this! I don't swim but that sounded like a wonderful trip to the pool.
Thank you Helen, it was lovely.

Thank you Julia, that really does mean a lot to me - I never thought of myself as a writer!

Thank you Janina! I've never been to Norway in the (summer?) but I know that Bergen has a bit of a reputation ☔🌧️☔!! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
