This morning I went along to the usual swimming haunt at Loch Earn, the group,I swim with usually go to the south side and swim from the broken pier. The air temperature was a tad cold but actually this made entering the water easier. It turns out there was no discernible difference between air and water temps, both around 14c. The minute everyone gets submerged the smiles start, it’s without fail one of the best things for my mental health and I’m not alone in thinking that. The water looked inky black this morning under the dark clouds, but the sun was trying to peep through. As always we felt rejuvenated, albeit a bit chilly in the July breeze. I had errands to run today otherwise I would have stayed longer. A cuppa and a great bacon roll (or alternatives) can be had from the little village cafe/shop (St Fillans village store) on the other side. They use the best rolls.
