Water nymph

I love seeing the damselflies flying around over the aquatic plants these days πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’™

Post gardening dip

Refreshing dip after some gardening. It's a mixed bag at this time regarding veggies; some are doing marvellous (leek, beetroot, spring greens...), others not so much (artichoke and courgette plants keep being devoured by snails and slugs).
Any green fingers here?

Back to the river!

Feeling much better today and fancied a dip at the end of the day, yay!

Recovery beach

Still not feeling 100% but I couldn't be in the house anymore!
The weather feels really heavy, hot and humid and strange. The sea was incredibly dangerous. Proper red flag. I managed to get in a bit to refresh a few times and that was great πŸ™πŸΎ

Recovering

Last week I was in Madrid for my training. It was incredible and incredibly intense so my body is asking me to stop and become a cat for a few days. I'm literally a cat surrounded by my cats who are the loveliest companions. Wild waters are there when I feel it's the right time again. For now, just resting and digesting.
May you have a good day πŸ™πŸΎβ€οΈ

Tenderness

Just that, tenderness.

Glorious sea swim

Oh goodness me, last night I ended up staying in my van by the sea, it was an spontaneous decision. I love that from time to time. It reminds me of the times when I lived there and that was the norm!
It's one of my favourite pleasures, to jump into the water pretty much directly from bed, when the day is fresh and new, and sun starts to be noticed on the skin. Exhilarating and revitalising

En la playa!

I came to the sea later in the day, to wander, to swim, to dance at the end of the beach. A few people around, but pretty quiet. However more people are discovering it, in comparison with the past. This is supposedly a nudist beach, I was the only one naked though. I find that sad really.
I had a great time anyway

Damselflies

Damselflies are starting to fly around! Big current after storms, and still very cold water, a proper May mix!

Toasty

Slept by the beach accompanied by the sound of the waves. First thing in the morning a swim. The joys of life πŸ’™

Sun and sea at last

The sun has arrived for at least a couple of days and it feels like heaven! It's been raining so much in the last month that feeling a little bit of warmth in the skin is precious.
I came to the sea, to find beautiful turquoise colours and perfect conditions to enjoy the water. Precious time πŸ™πŸΎβ™₯️

And it was all green

It's incredible how green and lush everything is right now after weeks of rain. Apparently we'll get some sun over the weekend; I'm already planning a trip to the seaπŸ™πŸΎ

Trickster-warrior

Channelling my trickster and warrior parts of myself, letting them move me and see where my centre is!
May is being really rainy and quite cold, with the occasional sunny spell, great for the veggies, but I would love to enjoy a sunny weekend too!

Rooted

Feeling my roots going deeper into the soil so I can be more courageous in tricky times πŸ™πŸΎ

Petals

Yesterday we had a downpour like I haven't seen in a long time, even with hail! So you can see the effect on the water, still clear but different, and some petals that came down from somewhere upstream!

Tired!

Full on day so far, I look and feel tired. My body wants some rest, so it's time for that πŸ™πŸΎ

After the blackout

I was away in my training these days and the blackout in Spain found my on a train in the middle of nowhere. It took me 15 hours to get back home instead of 3, and it was a real odyssey, a funny and enjoyable one. Very surreal times and feeling very grateful for all the lovely people I met yesterday under those circumstances, and all the small gestures of compassion and care that make life so beautiful. Highlight who healing connection is. Meaningful connections. Connections from a place of l...

Flow

Moving through unease at times, letting it move through me, I know it will flow, it always does. Embracing uncomfortable emotions as they hold important information, but not too tight, letting water and air into the mix, letting it all being transformed

Mystical

Today was going to be a busy day, but it turned out not to πŸ™πŸΎ so I can enjoy this amazing day of lushness. Everything is nature is so sexy right now!

Rainy day

After some late gardening yesterday I went for a swim in the rain. I loved it!

HD

I can't describe how amazing it was to be in the river with that light. We got a bit of everything, heavy rain, sun... So the sky was very dramatic and when the sun was out everything was so alive that it's indescribable! Pure beauty.
This was a few days ago and for some reason I've just realised that the post wasn't uploaded! Right now forecast is grey, cold and rain. But for sure I'll venture out later.

May you have a good day!

Full moon hangover

This full moon was quite something, I really felt her in my whole system. Very dense and asking for a huge amount of inner work...

Warming up

It's a joy to be able to stay in the water slightly more and sock-freeπŸ™πŸΎπŸ€—

Days like summer

These days the weather feels like summer, and it's really lovely tbh. Longer swims, warm sunshine, and being naked for hours whenever possible!

What's the weather like where you are?

My cheeks are very red because of gardening, perfect weather for that too!

School trip

Yesterday I was working in these beautiful places, taking a school trip to the mountains. However I wasn't allowed to swim there; it's a super protected area for wildlife conservation, and also a sacred place for Catholics (where the waterfall is). So water from a certain distance! I did splash my face though!

But today, somewhere else while the kids are on their kayaks I managed to sneak in the river! Gorgeous stuff

So tasty!!!

All of the sudden it feels like summer these days (a bit too abrupt for my taste tbh!). It's about big contrast still, cold mornings and mist, and then boom above 20 degrees! The house is also much colder than the outside! Water temperature is also still very cold (went back to neoprene socks!). Contrasts and enjoying all of it (apart from feeling cold at home!).

I don't know about you but since the change of clocks this weekend I feel that time is also running faster!

May you ...

At the seaside

Yesterday I overdid it a bit. Instead of driving home directly from where I was, I did a detour and went to the coast. Beautiful sunshine but the wind was cold and strong, so I couldn't stop and enjoy it laying on the sand. At least I had a lovely walk and swim in those turquoise waters. Quite a few people around, no one else swimming though.

Magical beechwood

Mini trip to an incredible centenary beech forest with a gorgeous stream. Simply wow. Just an extraordinary place, including a 500 year old beech 😍

Feet test

Today we got some moments of sun which felt amazing, after days of heaviness in the atmosphere, in the body.

I felt a shift in the water temperature, slightly warmer! And I thought, maybe it's getting nearer to the time when I stop wearing my neoprene socks! So I did a test after my dip and I believe that moment has arrived πŸ™πŸΎ

Welcome barefoot dips and swims again πŸ’™
