Breaking Ice

Thankfully I managed to sleep through the midnight fireworks thanks to one deaf ear, a memory foam pillow and a pair of ear plugs!

I do like to start the new year feeling rested and refreshed, ideally with a run but decided the pavements were likely pretty icy so I'll save that for another day.

I did have a new years dip though. We weren't the first as some helpful people had broken the ice for us, thermometer reading was just below 2 degrees, surprisingly one of the easiest swims for getting in, beyond the ripples on the photo is where the ice started...
