Yesterday was publication day for Breaking Waves by Emma Simpson. When I read it earlier this week I got thinking about how I ended up “wild” swimming.

It would be so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health w’shop in my previous post if you have a moment. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not proud of this) & I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously 🌿
