Strange practices..

A strange habit some English people have of celebrating Christmas by going for a swim! We have come down to Deal for a few days to try and walk off some of our excesses and get some fresh air.
On a walk along the seafront we came across a group of people watching their friends get ready for a winter dip - the temperature is 5°! It was perhaps one of the quicker swims l have seen, and who's to blame them?
