Another gorgeous sunset over the village of St Monans, another beautiful swim in Pittenweem 😊 The light on the water was just magical 🧡 #sunset #sunsetswim #seaswim #seaswimming #coldwater #nature #naturaltherapy #fifecoastalpath #fifeskies #fifelife #fifescotland (at Pittenweem Bathing Pool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXx7fKIoZE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lovely walk on the West Sands this morning with #standrewsbusinessclub members and their dogs. I always love the big sky and that vast sandy beach. A great start to the day! #netwalking #networking #westsands #morningwalk #noswimmingtoday #business #exercise #freshair (at St Andrews) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNaiJgIoQb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Around 50 brave souls took part in the East Neuk Dook by jumping into Anstruther Harbour this Boxing Day. It'll have been warmer in the water than out with the air temp 3°C and the biting wind making that feel like -3°C! Great care was taken with loads of support from the local RNLI lifeboat team both in and on the water. All in aid of charity ❤ #eastneukdook #charity #coldwater #winterswim #boxingday #lifeboat #watersafety (at Anstruther, Fife, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmoy2cQopiv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some people are so kind and generous... I went for a walk, bumped into the local Wild Skins swimmers after their dook and ended up being showered with home made jam, shortbread, coconut bites and tablet (that's a kind of hard fudge for the non Scots out there) by a woman from Stirling who I'd never met before. What a lovely way to start the end of year celebrations! #christmas #giving #kind #gift #warmfeeling #generous #beautifulsoul #sweets #homemade (at Pittenweem, Fife) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUP6Nso3BL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Now that's what I call frost! Who needs snow when this stuff's about? The sun wasn't melting it, either 🥶☀️😂 #frost #jackfrost #coldweather #freezing #winterwonderland #wintersun #nature #lovenature💚 (at Pittenweem, Fife) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHpziUorJt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fabulous recital in St Andrews yesterday - great to see @VeraWenkert ❤ and hear some of the gifted singers from her Institut Stimmkunst in Zurich including wonderful @charlottewhittlesings ❤ with the excellent Heisenberg Ensemble at the university's Laidlaw Music Centre. Great voices, great music and, as befitting opera singers, some fab frocks, too. Thank you! #recital #standrews #institutstimmkunst #heisenbergensemble #opera #singing #music #arts #artsinfife #internationalcollaboration https://www.instagram.com/p/ClgCr72ojQj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another great sunrise. Did you know that exposure to early morning light helps you sleep at night, enhances your mood, improves health generally and can even help with weight loss, apparently? Coupled with a sea swim, it's a great start to the day 😀 #morninglight #morningswim #sunrise #sunlight #coldwater #coldwaterswimming #goodhealth #moodlifter #nature #healthybody #healthylifestyle #immunebooster #healthbenefits (at Pittenweem, Fife) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjStgE8IjbA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Early swims mean I get to see the sun come up as the days grow shorter. It's a great way to start the day 🏊‍♀️🌞😎 #sunrise #earlymorning #coldwaterswimming #pittenweemtidalpool #earlystart #goodhealth #goodhabits #fifeskies #fifecoastalpath #fifelife #eastneuk https://www.instagram.com/p/CiueOALoRzY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our very own natural infinity pool 😎 Beautiful swim this morning in the warm sunshine. Met a lovely couple from Pitlochry who say they'll definitely be back. They'll be most welcome 🌞 #seaswimming #pittenweem #dook #fifelife #fifecoast #healthyliving #coldwaterswimming #coldwater #swimmingcommunity (at Pittenweem Bathing Pool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiXrwAgITHD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a great start to the day! A walk along the beach at St Andrews (that's the town in the distance) with the St Andrews Business Club followed by tea and breakfast al fresco 😎 #netwalking #network #starttheday #beachwalk #greatcompany #businesstalk #fifelife #fifecoast #freshair (at West Sands Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBYad5IS0l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
