On television recently a debate came up about walking around the house naked. The main thread of the item was that it is most usual for men to walk around the house naked or to not care who see's them naked. It seems that most women prefer to cover up & are more body-aware & body critical. Women try to avoid full length mirrors or any view of themselves around the waist, hips or thighs. Men are less worried about bulges & extra bits of fat gathering in easily seen places. One female presenter said her 'partner' regularly does a "Willie Wobble" dance to emphasise his nakedness & his bouncing penis. She said that although she walks naked between bathroom and bedroom she would hate to be seen naked anywhere other than those two places. So I wonder, in general terms & not just in the textile world & not just in the naturist world, do men tend to worry less about being naked in the home, or is it just a fact that women are more 'body-concious' ? Naturists are past the body-image issue, aren't they ?

Never done a Blog b4, so thought I would just for the fun of it, and because I can, but don't expect to many updates....... pmsl.
Ok, so here goes

Because of the mini heat wave at the end of September I went to Ty Thing Barn naturist camp site in Wales for a long weekend Friday to Monday. Great place and my second time there. Has 24 acres to roam around and hang-out free. Went swimming and boating in the lakes, walks in woods, lazed about all day in the sun in the large open areas with others ( yes for once Wales was sunny). Even played badminton all be it badly and that French game tossing the balls ( now, now !!! don't get ahead of me keep it clean ...lol ) About 20 of us all meet round the camp fire pit on Saturday night until about 2am, all shared food and drink maybe I had just the one too many. Anyway, had a great time and would recommend the place to others. If not b4 weather permitting, I will be back 5th 6th 7th July 2012 for the "Fun Weekend Event" they do every year.

It has just struck me that without thinking about it, I have positioned my web cam to give head and shoulder shots. Have others done the same thing or as Naturists have you gone for the full body shot? Strange what goes through your mind on a wet Monday. I would welcome comments from everyone, weather you have a cam or not, male, female or couple. Lets find out what the site thinks.

The thorny topic of outdoor nakedness has recently raised it's head in the press again, an elderley man has been prosecuted for 'Behaviour Likely To Cause Alarm & Distress' after he was seen doing various d.i.y. tasks around the outside of his home totally naked.
I have myself ventured out into my back gardens naked, both to sunbathe & to do gardening tasks. (not in last year due to ill health). My nearest neighbours were aware that I ventured naked outside & they joined the fun of the situation rather than complain. I first saw then 'peeping' from upstairs windows at me, then on other occassions I saw them peering through dense privet hedging, later I heard ribald laughter & jokes about streakers, then after all of this had been played out to it's length without bad feeling or comments the situation was 'accepted'.

Always being one to dive in at the deep end,my first attempt into naturism was a holiday in Cap D'age. I to save money and to meet my fellow holiday makers I went by coach, in itself quite an experience. As we passed through the gates one chap lept up and took all his clothes off on the bus, this was a bit of a surprise. We were ushered in and made very welcome, then shown to our apartments. Stripping off I returned to the pool for our drink and talk. The whole thing was great and I was a confirmed naturist from that point on. Swimming naked was glorious. The next day was a bit strange as I ventured into the supermarket for supplies. Walking around a supermarket totally nude felt weird, I was very careful around the chiller cabinet. Stranger was yet to come, I went into the bank to change some money. It just didn't seem right, stark naked in a normal seeming bank with clothed tellers but I absorbed the experience. I loved the beach where a lot of the beautiful people seemed to be but spent most of my time lazing round the pool.

Hi i am new to this but like many wanted to get into it!
So i took the plunge the other day and went to Acorns North Devon, Very nervous as you would expect.
And to any one thinking of doing it just go im sure like me you will get a warm welcome and feel liberated and can hardly wait to go back!

Well what a day. We had beautiful weather a great bunch of people and more seagulls than you could imagine.
The journey to the island is magical.It starts with a trip through the Cardiff barrage locks, Then out to sea. The island does not seem to get any nearer or bigger for ages then before you know it you have arrived with a bump. After a safety talk by the warden it was time to strip and go exploring. The lighthouse is the main feature you see on the island but it is littered with gun emplacements and ammo stores and seagulls.

After a while it was time for Andy's tour of the island.
The cholera hospital the foghorn, Marconi's first
radio transmission. It was a tour given with passion,information and yes seagulls. So much to see and learn about that there just was not enough time.
With a pose for a group photo it was time to get ready for the boat back to the barrage.

Once again I would like to thank everybody for making me feel welcome on what was a fantastic day out to a very special island.

Just had a lovely time at Morfa Dyfrryn, bit cloudy but nice and warm. Sitting on the beach we couldn't help but notice how many jetskies and small motor boats appear to get engine failure !

Is it the tide ? undercurrents ? flotsom or jetsom ? No. The poor buggers pretend they have a problem with their engines when everyone knows they've come for a little peep at the people with no clothes on. Now folks the binoculars and cameras are a bit of a giveaway so if like us you find it funny, why not give them a friendly wave and guess what happens ? Yes their engines work again !

Heres to some more warm sunny weather so we can see all the pretty boats that the people have bought into the bay for us to admire.

Thankyou.

We are just beginning the awsome adventure of moving home! Not moving very far that's true so there's no great logistics to worry about or frantic family causing more chaos than ever. No, in general terms we'll have it fairly easy, pack boxes--pack suitcases-- empty cupboards & drawers etc-- disconnect gas & electricity-- notify all the utilities suppliers-- change address notes to everyone-- double check new address is ready to accept us-- check all utilities etc at new address-- organise all volunteers & pests!-- tell schools & schoolfriends-- tell doctors,dentists etc.-- organise removal company-- redirect mail-- get telephone re-located-- oh and a million other things to remember all in the last hour! Oh yes.. we'll have it fairly easy..... HELP ! !

Its' been a truly mad few months. Some of you may have noticed that I have been missing from the site for a few weeks - some of you may be pleased about this.
On 3rd December I was fired from my job as a coach driver here at Heathrow. Having disputed the suitability of a coach allocated, I was dismissed, much to the horror of the other drivers and union rep. Never having been late or refused a duty before and only having had 3 days off sick in 4 years - it seemed harsh. I could have appealed, but to be honest if they thought so little of me, then I didnt want to work for them.
Having signed on at the jobcentre - oh joy - and given my 15.60 a week to liveon - I applied for loads of jobs and was even offered a couple of jobs. When they found out I was going to Australia for the whole of January, they asked me to contact them on return. Oh well.
On 16th December, I went down with flu. It was later diagnosed as swine flu. I stayed in bed right through to Christmas day, when I got up for 4 hours. Then returned to bed and began fretting wether I would be able to travel on 2nd January or not.
