Wishing everyone a merry Christmas. For some it will be difficult or challenging in many ways. Also spare a thought for those in our emergency services, nhs and armed forces who are working today and not able to spend it with family, friends or loved ones. 🌲🎅

Sometimes we just need an opportunity to reset. A great day leading two people kayaking on the Lower Lower Dart. Fantastic fun and great watching them progress. 'Life is simple just add water'

With it being #WorldMentalHealthDay let's not forget the wonderful power of water and #vitaminsea for our wellbeing and happiness. You dont always have to be in rough seas :) just being around water is magical.

What's a better way to start a weekend than a lovely paddle on the sea. A bit blustery (evidenced by the hair) but a lovely 4.7nm paddle. #VitaminSea 'Life is simple just add water'

#worldsoceanday2025 the ocean has amazing benefits for us and our planet. Never forget the healing power of #VitaminSea. Our oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, let's not destroy them but continue to be amazed by their wonder and restorative effects.

A lovely morning paddle on the River Stour today. Got blown out of Poole Harbour so Plan B. Still windy though. Plenty of wildlife seen, Trout, Swifts, Herrons and a Kingfisher. 'Life is simple, just add water'

Sometimes a change of plans is not always a bad thing. The assessment I was due to support got postponed so took the opportunity to paddle the coast locally. Just what was needed. #VitaminSea 'Life is simple just add water'
