I did it!

On a very breezy and chilly Boxing Day morning, I donned my gingham pinafore and ruby slippers, and took part in the Dip and Nip at Waldringfield in aid of CLIC Sargent.

The water was estimated to be around 8 degrees Celcius.

The video of this madness is now on Youtube, with commentary from my daughter!

Boxing Day madness

At 11 am this Friday, I shall be hurling myself into the River Deben at Waldringfield, dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I know that's not really normal behaviour, but it's the Boxing Day Dip and Nip in aid of CLIC Sargent, a charity which supports children and young people with cancer, and their families.

I have a fundraising page set up and I would be very grateful if you would consider making a donation.

Spectators are most welcome and I will post photos after the event.

Thanks folks and have a great Christmas!
