HOLIDAY FUN IN THE SUN

For the first time ever I have spent a week in the sun, with my best gal, no kids, in a totally private villa (don't be getting any ideas - it was WAY cheap - I'm not Rockafella you know!) with a private pool, NOT OVERLOOKED! So I spent the week in my birthday suit - and what a complete liberation that was. Now I know why the Naturists do what they do - not that I could do it "in public" but just the feeling of the sun warming ALL these old bones without worrying about where my strap lines were going to be - let me tell you, I highly recommend it!

I now have freckles in places where I guarantee you don't even have places.

We made a conscious decision not to book a holiday in a place where anyone else was going to be - from my own point of view, I no longer care when someone looks at me in a swim suit and tells me I am fat - sniggers behind their hands, tells their family to come look at the fat lady, calls their teenage friends over to find out who ate all the pies......YOU know just what its like - but my poor other half hasn't really experienced this very often - so she asked especially if we could be away from everyone, hence the private pool, not overlooked etc.

And I have to say, it's done us the power of good. Not least because we were in the mountains where the phones didn't work, not least because we managed to spend quality time together and not least because we're not concerned by our nudity - NOW THAT'S FREEDOM!
