Partner, mum and educational psychologist. The power of nurturing relationships in helping us thrive and the magic of wild swimming to keep me afloat! All views my own.

That's that for us on Twitter. After 8.5 years of the fabulous TwitterEPs community, we won't be posting there any more.

Please share with your colleagues, teams, friends, or anyone interested in education and psychology, that they can join the wonderful #edpsychs community here :)

Can you spot a wee red-breast serenading the first swim of February? And yes, the Loch was frozen over too, it's still chilly!

A calm loch after some very wintry weather. Just the ducks, a heron and a couple of us swimmers this morning #outdoorswimming #scottishsunrise

My shop has had a very quiet month, which is to be expected just after Christmas, but my out-goings have far exceeded my income this January. ๐Ÿฆ

Me too, maybe something to do with the surname? Funny, clever and always entertaining.

Same, pool just isn't the same as the wee frozen loch. Warmer days are coming....

I thought it might be worth introducing myself here as most people might not know me and what I do.

My name is Niall and I am on a mission to save street dogs around the world.

This is me with Tina. A very special dog. This is my storyโ€ฆ. (1/8) ๐Ÿงต

They certainly are: sunrise swims, sunset swims, full moon swims and swimming through the mist. Swimming in the snow, through ice crystals, in the rain and in gorgeous sunshine, each swim unique and full of fun and friendship #wildswimming

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My๐ŸŒฒ jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant Iโ€™ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou๐ŸŒฟ

The curtains are closing earlier, the cosy duvet is on and the winter swim challenge has taken a decidedly chilly turn but what a way to start the day. This was our wee loch this morning #swimwild
