This evening @simon.berrimansbareall.uk and I went on a 3 hour river cruise up the River Exe. There must've been over 100 people on board dancing, drinking, or braving the breeze up on deck. Passing riverside pubs got plenty of cheers too! with @funplymouth.bsky.social @randlefranklin.bsky.social
I've started reading the brilliant Economica by @vnbateman.bsky.social. I know it'll run right through the heart of naturist principles; as body freedom and economic freedom are tightly linked. I'm really look forward to interviewing her. @britnaturism.bsky.social #Economica #economics #feminism
One of the best parts of my job as Womens Officer for @britnaturism.bsky.social is meeting all the wonderful women from around the world - the International Women In Naturism. At #NudeFest is was fantastic to meet Jeannette from @getnakedgermany.bsky.social. I think the #IWIN campaign has been born!
Well, I'm all set up at Nudefest 2026! I'm here with Steph Durbin, and @simon.berrimansbareall.uk will be joining us on Friday - he's run out of annual leave! Fortunately moving to Somerset means he can come over in the evenings. We're in Orange field, pitch I1 if you're here too and want to say hi.
Hot, innit... This extreme heat in the UK sounds great but if you do go outside nude in the sun, please, SPF50 all over and stay hydrated. The best way to stay cool though is to stay nude inside, with the curtains shut. And if you don't sleep nude tonight, then you'll just be torturing yourself!
Back home after my travels, and I appear to have brought a stray American home with me... 😁 @simon.berrimansbareall.uk and I are pleased to welcome @sarahmexicochrist.bsky.social to our home for a few nights. Its a shame the weather isn't a little more Floridian though.
The country living is best wherever we can get closer to nature. This climbing rose was left in our garden by previous occupiers, and is blooming lovely! with @simon.berrimansbareall.uk
Making the most of country living and yes... Sometimes we wear clothes. Fresh air, fresh flowers, fresh eggs and beautiful views on our doorstep #countrylife
The Naked Heart Walk at Powderham Castle wasn't the best weather but for seasoned naturists it was plenty warm enough. It was a lovely stroll through the park up to the folly and back to the castle. If you're a BN member check out the official photos in the members gallery @simon.berrimansbareall.uk
So, its World Naked Gardening Day. However as @simon.berrimansbareall.uk and I have just moved house, we've booked a gardener to come and sort this lot out. We don't know where we'd start! Next year I'll be out here with my secateurs. Maybe... #WNGD #WNGD26
The best thing I ever gave myself was permission to stop hiding. What will you give yourself today? #IWD2026 #GiveToGain
Heading off the ship now. But here's a couple of pics from the final evening, with Colin @britnaturism.bsky.social and @InkdAnimeNudist from Twitter/X. Now its just the 10 hour trip back to the cold UK! Roll on spring. cruisebare.com #bnb26
Last day is paradise! Great Stirrup Cay for the second time on our way back to Miami, arriving tomorrow morning. We need to be out of our rooms by 7.30am - that's just rude! Oh, but I did finally meet up with the lovely Sarah Mexico Christenson. cruisebare.com @britnaturism.bsky.social #bnb26
Just a few of the women in naturism here on the Bare Necessities 'Big Nude Boat' 2026. #BNB26 And if you don't listen already, you can find the Women In Focus podcast from @podcast.bn.org.uk here: 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus/ With @britnaturism.bsky.social
Mardi Gras on the Big Nude Boat! People kept giving me beads... 🥳 @britnaturism.bsky.social @martindesnudo.bsky.social #bnb26
Today was a port day in Jamaica. With @francellirenteria.bsky.social and @angy1de.bsky.social @britnaturism.bsky.social #BNB26
Another day at sea, so another meetup! Its lovely meeting so many people from Bluesky and Twitter here. @britnaturism.bsky.social @francellirenteria.bsky.social @vianaziz.bsky.social @angy1de.bsky.social @martindesnudo.bsky.social #bnb26 (Anyone I missed, please say in the comments!)
Town port stops for the past couple of days, so had to keep my dress on. But we got to see Curaçao and Bonaire in the southen Caribbean, both of which are spectacular! Heading for Aruba tomorrow. @britnaturism.bsky.social cruisebare.com #bnb26
What a great meet-up today! Celebrating women in naturism across the globe. with @angy1de.bsky.social @francellirenteria.bsky.social @vianaziz.bsky.social @britnaturism.bsky.social #BNB26
A day at sea today. I would say no need for clothes all day, but its a bit windy out on deck. Silliness inside it is then! @britnaturism.bsky.social cruisebare.com #BNB26
What a fab first day. ☀️ Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas turned naturist for the day! Met up with Erin Gilgur of Lake Como, who you may remember from Ep.24 of Women in Focus. In case you're wondering I'm travelling with Colin, @britnaturism.bsky.social Chairman! lakecomonaturally.com cruisebare.com
And so the 2026 adventures begin! I've now boarded the cruisebare.com #BNB26 in Miami ready for nearly 2 weeks of nude sailing around the Caribbean. And I've already met some familiar faces! @britnaturism.bsky.social @vianaziz.bsky.social @martindesnudo.bsky.social
I'm not a big fan of karaoke, but give me a bit of SingStar on the PS3 and I'm there! Lovely pre-Christmas evening with Pete and Siobhan. 🎤🤶
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. With @veranaturist.bsky.social
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. 🔊 podfollow.com/should-i-del... @britnaturism.bsky.social
Its nearly the end of the season, but we have one last opportunity to enjoy @britnaturism.bsky.social Sunfolk at the EC meeting weekend. Getting in the hot tub in the cold, crisp autumn morning air certainly wakes you up!
A selection of photos from a fabulous weekend at Sunfolk with many of our wonderful friends and family! A communal barbeque and evening of SingStar. @simon.berrimansbareall.uk @nakedtravels1.bsky.social @naturistneil.bsky.social @stephdurbin.bsky.social @twonaturists.bsky.social
Fabulous at 50! Older? Yes. Wiser? Sometimes. Still fabulous? Always! 😂 Proof that vintage is always in style. #50today #itsmybirthday🎂 #fabulousat50
