Today's @britnaturism.bsky.social Naked Heart Walk at Leonardslee Lake and Gardens was rather wet, but it didn't dampen spirits. It wasn't cold and skin dries easily! And @helen.berrimansbareall.uk kept an eye on the café...

The Naked Heart Walks are to raise funds for @thebhf.bsky.social.

It's Party in the Stark 2025! Weather is mostly just about holding. And this year's photo area included an oversized chair...

So I'm now 50 years old... Not keen on that idea but embracing it! This present from my daughter is very apt though! A 'belly bag' 😆

When you know, you know! Ok, a guilty pleasure of @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and myself is watching 'Bargain Hunt' at lunchtime. And when the camera panned the auction room we spotted a logo we recognised! Good bit of free advertising there @heritage-n-club.bsky.social...

Proving that we do occasionally do "sports"! @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and myself made use of the dart board after the official match at Pride at BN Sunfolk. Ok, technically Helen was wardening, but it can't be all work, right? 😁🎯

About 70 people came to today's Naked Heart Walk at LeonardsleeGardens.co.uk, which was brilliant given several other naturist events happened today, not least the #LondonWNBR! A new addition this year was admission to the dolls house exhibition, fascinating in its detail.

After acquiring the 32X a few weeks ago I started to look for an original Mega CD, and wouldn't you know it, one appeared at @ewbankauctions.bsky.social in a specialist auction. I put a commission bid on it expecting to outbid on the day - but I wasn't! The Tower of Power will soon be complete!

It's only taken me six months to realise that UK and EU users can no longer see Vimeo Channels or search the site! So I've set up a BSky profile that'll be dedicated to posting the Naked Retro Gamers videos, which will have to do for now.

Please follow @nakedretrogamers.com if you like those posts.

Awesome day at @shortcircuit.org.uk #RetroFest. Plenty of interesting and rare machines on display. Had a great chat with this chap, Dean @breakintoprogram.co.uk. And I was impressed the folks at @museumofcomputing.bsky.social had heard of nakedretrogamers.com! ...

A fun weekend catching up with a lot of different people at Bare Bootleg festival at the @naturistfoundation.org. @vianaziz.bsky.social and Kelvin are always up for a photo op! Roll on the next naturist festival - @britnaturism.bsky.social's NudeFest. 😎

One of the unexpected delights of nakedretrogamers.com and running the Naked Retro Gaming Live events are the lovely donations of old hardware that we receive. At the last event I was given a box of 'Mega Drive stuff', and in it was this awesome bit of kit. A 32X!

Its that 5K time of year again at @naturistfoundation.org where I wonder why I do this to myself. Beat Lizzie this time but she says that's only because she stayed with her friend. And that's why I do this, so others can discover naturism. Her friend had never tried anything socially nude before.

The moment my hedge trimming on World Naked Gardening Day went wrong. Spot the obvious mistake! Hope your gardening went better than mine... 🙄

Its World Naked Gardening Day, the weather is warm and dry, and the grass needed cutting. The hedge has also gone a bit crazy in the last few weeks, so I felt I had no excuse not to do something. Grass cutting went fine. Hedge trimming - well - see comments! 😆

This is our bedroom wall. Plus the one over the sofa in the living room. It initiates a lot of conversions.

While I work on a video of the NRG Live event at BN:Sunfolk last weekend, here's a Naked Retro Gaming video from a few weeks ago. Its the first in a series featuring the kind donation of games from @chrisankz.bsky.social - Gran Turismo 2.

What a great day here at Sunfolk for Naked Retro Gaming! A good turnout made the place sound like a full on, old school arcade. And the weather was on our side, so we ended the day with a communal BBQ. All that planning and prep was worth it.

While Helen is off sunning herself, the dining table has found a new use as a test bench! Obviously I need to test each and every machine, ahead of the Naked Retro Gaming weekend at Sunfolk in a couple of weeks' time... Its a hard life. 🤓

If you want to come, book here: bn.uk/yfedakt

You can now post videos up to 3 minutes long and a maximum size of 100MB. Any larger/longer and they'll be rejected. The one from The Last Leg I posted on Friday took a few attempts to get it small enough!

We've not done any gaming lately, so with NRGLive coming up in about a month's time at BN:Sunfolk we figured we'd better start ... ahem ... 'testing' the consoles. To get you in the mood, here's a video from a little while ago: Bubble Bobble!

Close, but missing some of the hidden meanings. The 'nude bottom' waves, for instance. And the 7 rays of the sun that represent the 7 continents of the world. We do need an emoji to represent us. I currently use the bare footprints for that purpose.
The 'naturist symbol' - a line drawing of a yellow sun and blue waves. The text in the image reads: Designer's/Submitter's Explanation. The simple line drawing should make it easy to adapt to embroidery, viny! decals, etc. The two color design is simple enough to reproduce, but also allows for it to be changed to all one color when necessary. The simplified backside of a body (bum and legs) could be obvious to "those who know" but would otherwise look like water or waves to others - the design is gender, race/skin-tone, and language neutral. The seven rays of the sun represent the 7 continents.

I did the #WNBR in 2011, that was my first socially nude experience, and then last year my wife @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and I met the Brighton riders at the end of their WNBR on Brighton naturist beach. We may do the same this year - a whole lot less effort that actually pushing pedals!
