Tooting Bec Lido - The last ' London based' breakfast club

Wednesday 19th August - A joyous yet sad occasion

Today we will go to Tooting Bec Lido for our last 'resident' breakfast club. A tradition started for swimming enthusiasts who are also partial to fine food and wine or in the morning coffee.

We will start the day with a dip, which at this time of year can be anything from a few lengths to a few miles or even hours if you're training for the Channel, but if you're me, this year it's no more than a mile as our baby is due in a month and I'm taking it easy because I can and because it's nice to have a leisurely swim and just enjoy the view (and also avoid being bumped by the many who have descended upon our treasured Lido to make the most of this heat!)

Once we have dipped we will eat delicious bread, pastries and drink delicious Italian coffee...we'll bring our own ofcourse!

This is all done amongst the company of trusted swimming friends who are mostly bonkers and who we'll miss unexplainable amounts.

Our last two dips in London, Tooting Bec Lido and The Serpentine to say a fond farewell to our swimming friends who have made a huge impact on our lives and who we hope will always play a big part in it. Again....Lido-ers please visit us soon (and often!)

LOTS of love
