Merry Christmas one and all! We've had a fab day. Siobhan and Pete popped in for a drink this morning, so we had to get a Christmas photo. (Yes, Helen's earrings light up!)

It's great to have opportunities to get together naturally in the winter. Today was British Naturism's regional Christmas meal at the Mill Arms, with tradional 9 pin skittles after. Its lovely to meet up socially with people we've seen since the summer too.

I spoke to Alex Light and Em Clarkson for the 'Should I Delete That?' #podcast at their studio a couple of weeks ago. They were genuinely interested in what naturism is. The more we chat about this kind of stuff, the more myths are busted.
