Book Description
A perfect place to remember your wild swimming adventures, jot down words and experiences, note who you were with, the time of year, the time of day, how you felt before, during and after. A 6" x 9" book with feint wavy lines and a feint fish motif that can be easily written over but can also provoke a doodle or two, randomly throughout the book there are blank pages with a cute fish or two to just remind you of your oceanic, lakeside encounters. Those incredible once in a life time experiences that occur when you are at one with nature, swimming at sunrise or sunset in fresh water are worth recording. The poetry it inspires in your soul and the clarity of thought that occurs. Include the research you do, the places you fantasise of swimming in, the local lake, the great rivers or tropical oceans or off the coast of freezing Iceland. Note down the recommendations and keep your dreams on paper, give yourself some targets for how many swims you'll complete this year and how you hope you will feel, mentally and physically once you complete your goals. Keep a note of your kit and the local amenities nearby, a fantastic local cafe where you can get a great, warming coffee afterwards (nothing tastes better!) or a local bar with a refreshing bar to hang out in while you dry off. This journal will record your swims and inform your swims, you, or someone you know was " Born to Swim Wild"

Pondlife
Author: Al Alvarez
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408841010
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
From the author of The Savage God, a unique memoir of growing old, and a lesson in not going gently into that good night The ponds of Hampstead Heath are small oases; fragments of wild nature nestled in the heart of north-west London. For the best part of his life Al Alvarez – poet, critic, novelist, rock-climber and poker player – has swum in them almost daily. An athlete in his youth, Alvarez chronicles what it is to grow old with humour and fierce honesty – from his relentlessly nagging ankle which makes daily life a struggle, to infuriating bureaucratic battles with the council to keep his disabled person's Blue Badge, the devastating effects of a stroke, and the salvation he finds in the three Ss – Swimming, Sex and Sleep. As Alvarez swims in the ponds he considers how it feels when you begin to miss that person you used to be – to miss yourself. Swimming is his own private form of protest against the onslaught of time; proof to others, and himself, that he's not yet beaten. By turns funny, poetic and indignant, Pondlife is a meditation on love, the importance of life's small pleasures and, above all, a lesson in not going gently in to that good night. _____________________ 'A beautiful unfolding of a story, told in deceptively simple prose but with a great power to move' Sunday Times 'The adrenalin still flows in lively extracts' The Times 'A marvellous book... it has no business to be as invigorating and absorbing – its success is against the odds' Observer

Born to Be Wild
Author: Hattie Garlick
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472915348
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Want to save cash, your child's imagination and possibly even the planet? This is the book you need. Packed with great photos of real families in the outdoors, Born to Be Wild contains easy-to-follow instructions for activities that require nothing more sophisticated than a small person's imagination and access to a little outdoor space. Nature lays on magical materials for free each season, from fallen leaves and twigs, moulted feathers, sand and shells, to mud, puddles and rain. Everything else you'll need for these activities is already hiding in your cupboards at home. No expensive art supplies of outward-bound kit required. All you need are the toolkit items at the front of the book - ordinary household essentials like scraps of paper, string, glue, recycled food containers and an empty jar or two. Along the way Hattie talks to families, organisations and communities who have rebuilt their relationships with nature with extreme or inspiring results, and she introduces scientists, psychologists and other experts who explain why, as modern families, we should revive our waning relationships with nature, whatever age or stage we're at.
