Whenever possible, I like to pitch in and do my bit (to keep the ocean at bay around our coastline) – it’s a free, environmentally-friendly work-out often in beautiful surroundings and very satisfying to see the instant results, even if the sea always seems to win.
Nothing beats taking quality holidays in the Highlands which my husband and I have been doing for nearly 20 years. With Bobby, our budgie, in tow we head off and stay in a static caravan located by a beautiful river.
If I’m feeling a bit stressed or preoccupied then swimming is a great way to relax. My thinking always seems to become more balanced after being in the water and I tend to sleep well too.
