Barefoot in winter in UK

I love running on the beach in winter barefoot. Its beautiful out there, no people. I even take a dip in the water but only if its warm 50* and the sun is out. The water is shockingly cold but you feel so alive!

 

I just took the bins out in my bare feet - bloody hell its freezing!! if youre in the UK and you're out and about bf right now, you are hard core!!

 

Compared to the end of 2010 this winter so far has been positively barmy!
Suffice to say I've made to 2012 without conceding defeat and I'm on course for my first complete barefoot winter for about 5 years don't want to tempt fate though,spring's still some way off...

 

I feel so sorry for you guys up there in the Northern hemsiphere. Its beautiful here in Auckland. I've been out shopping this morning and paid a couple of bills, and then doing some painting round the house, all in barefeet. Tell you what though...its hard to get oil paint (painting our deck with an oil stain) off your feet, have to use mineral turps, very messy!:love:

 

Boy, I'm green with envy at NZ and 365 day barefooting! It's minus 20C here today and snow everywhere. It looks beautiful but it's not barefooting weather! It's inside only now till spring!

 

it got warm here in the uk for like 3 days, I went for a walk with the cam to shoot some moon pictures and found a field, now why would I get my shoes dirty!?
