Happy Monday all - I hope everyone had a great weekend?

Mine was filled with a bit of working, seeing some family, and.... getting out for my 2nd ever wild swim in the space of a week!

I had looked up some good spots since my first attempt and found the perfect location, getting there at 5:30AM expecting to be the only soul up at that time, but, to my amazement I was beaten to it by my new friend Bob who has been wild swimming for 25 years!

It was great to meet someone new who knows so much about #wildswimming given I am so new to it. Bob helped me with some breathing techniques to try when I first got in, and has promised to show me some of the best spots upstream the next time we bump into each other! He was a great sport too agreeing to a snap with my tripod for the blog, even though he doesnt do social media himself

I'm already back online and having a scout about to see where my new passion might take me next

I was up early this morning as I was determined to get out and give something a go that I have been wanting to try for a while - wild swimming!

Aside from being a tad cold!I have to to say I loved it - after the initial shock it really woke me up and left me feeling energised and ready for the day. I love a morning run, but this is something completely different and definitely something Ill do again

If you are thinking of giving wild swimming a go, be careful, its not safe unless you know the places to go and always take someone with you the first time you go, like I did today.

For all you keen #wildswimmers out there - where are your favourite spots and what are your top tips? Let me know!

Do you have any pictures of you and your identical twin?

Yes of course, 21 years worth!

Where do you work out? I know so many people who love hitting the gym, but for me I am perfectly happy just keeping it cheap and cheerful!

I love to get out for a run in any of the local parks, or even just a road run can be enjoyable first thing in the morning. The most important thing for me is time alone with my own thoughts and a chance to clear my head before another day

What is your work-out destination of choice and why? I'd love to hear!

[rebeccavendali]

Well, it feels like the summer has gone today! but that's ok, at least its an excuse to spend some time hitting the shops.

I'm a sucker for window shopping and have some very long wish lists! Trouble is, by the time I can afford what I am after it has usually disappeared!

Are you a window shopper, or a 'must have it!' shopper?

[rebeccavendali]

I'm actually an identical twin! I know people always find that really interesting but to me its completely normal! I love a good coffee (one is always good after the other!) and nothing better than finding a small backstreet café to watch the world go by. With so many styles of coffee to choose from these days, what is your absolute favourite? drop me a comment and let me know, I'm always open to new ideas!

Welcome & thanks for checking out my page! I'm Rebecca and I am excited to start sharing my little world with you, from ups and downs to all things fashion, photography, fitness and the wonderful world of gin! I'd love to become a blogger that people look forward to hearing from, and to connect with people who find my content interesting and inspire them to try something new, visit a new place, or maybe even start their own blog!

I am 21, and from Sussex in the UK and love getting out and about in the countryside, or down to the beach to keep myself fit and make the most of the fresh air. Of course, the countryside or the beach are equally good for a G&T!
