This morning, 18th August 2009, we visited one of our most treasured London swimming spots, the Serpentine for a final dip as London dwellers.
The Serpentine and the Serpers have been a big part of our lives together and we have spent a lot of time over the past few years, dipping, shivering and drinking tea in the company of the 'men' and the Serpers posse.
For those of you that haven't been to the Serpentine before the London day begins and swum with ducks, swans (and some slightly bonkers regulars!) you're missing out. There is something special about arriving at the Serps winter or summer (although winter is by far our favourite) sliding and plopping into the water (cold or warm although again, cold is our favourite!) and then spending as much time as you can eek out of the pre-work morning, drinking tea and shivering your way through a conversation or two with a selection of brilliant people.
Today we visited because we're off to Devon on Thursday and we just wanted to say 'see you soon'. Not Goodbye as we'll have to come back in the winter to swim in the Serps. A winter cannot go by without at least a few dips in the icy waters of the Serpentine, life would just not be the same.
So to all the Serpers, come and visit us in Devon for some wild dips, icy or warm, you're always welcome.
Our love and duck pooh kisses
