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
On Wednesday evening @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and I visited "Sweat and Reset" which is the new venture of Mike (of @nakedtravels1.bsky.social). He did a "Buck Moon Ritual" in a Finnish style sauna. Saunas in the summer are great when its a bit hot outside as it feels cold coming out afterwards!
Dr Victoria Bateman, a Cambridge economist and author, is known for using her naked body for protest. In this episode she talks about the cult of female modesty and how unashamed nudity is a logical step for feminism. Ep. 33 is out Sat. 1st Aug: 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus @vnbateman.bsky.social
Naked Retro Gaming at @britnaturism.bsky.social Sunfolk coincided with my birthday this year, so I spent the day driving many of my computers and consoles across the country! Still, its always good to see so many of them set up simultaneously and bringing people joy (inc @helen.berrimansbareall.uk!)
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
I'll be modelling for the October session. Indoors, I hope
Moving to Taunton meant we lost our regular life-modelling arrangements, so its great that we've started to find more contacts here in Somerset. Yesterday I modelled at the White Post Café, in their garden, for a group run by Alex of alexwilliamsillustration.co.uk. Great lighting, but tickly bugs!
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!
And so ends #NudeFest2026l The Orange camping field was mostly empty by the time we left, but it was a blast as ever. Non-naturists cannot know the community spirit here. I mean just look at this field which yesterday was packed with columns of tents; not a scrap litter! @helen.berrimansbareall.uk
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.
Episode 32: Helen talks to Michelle Perry, a British Naturism member from the Brighton area who spent most of her life covering up a body she felt sure would be judged, even wearing long shorts on the beach. Michelle shares how an ex-boyfriend's casual… British Naturism Podcast
Helen talks to Michelle Perry
Menopause, joy, liberation and playfulness

Michelle Perry always covered up from fear of body judgement, but there came an "enough is enough" point during the menopause, and through a sequence of events and the Everybody Festival, she could not now be happier. Episode 32 is out today, 4th July. 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus
Huge thanks to Chris Mann and the team at BBC Cambridgeshire - protesting #Brexit in just a pair of shoes is not easy, so the warm welcome was very much appreciated.
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!
Have you seen the 'Women in Focus' t-shirt, and the t-shirt dress on ironicclothing.org? T-shirt dresses are great if you want something a little more secure than a sarong to throw on or go out in, and they're long enough to sit on! Plus you advertise the podcast...

Yesterday evening @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and I had our naturist housewarming, while @sarahmexicochrist.bsky.social is still staying with us. @britnaturism.bsky.social
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

The Naked Heart Walk at Powderham Castle, in Devon today. With @helen.berrimansbareall.uk, @naturistneil.bsky.social, and @nakedtravels1.bsky.social. With @britnaturism.bsky.social
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
Next Saturday is the Naked Heart Walk at Powderham Castle in Devon. @simon.berrimansbareall.uk and I have not been to this one yet, so we're looking forward to going - just hoping for nice weather. Anyone else joining us? Get your ticket on EventBrite: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/powderham-...

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
After losing her mum, Steph Durbin searched for purpose — and found naturism. Within five minutes of her first club visit, she had an "F*** It" moment. Three years on, she's on BN's board. Women in Focus ep. 30 is out Sat 2nd May. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus

Such a fun chat with my new BFF (best Floridian friend!) I hope you'll all listen to my chat with @sarahmexicochrist.bsky.social for the @britnaturism.bsky.social Women in Focus podcast, out today. 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus
Growing up in "purity culture" @sarahmexicochrist.bsky.social was taught that her body was sinful and her problem. It was nudism that helped her deconstruct all of that. Women in Focus ep. 29 is out on Sat 4th April. Listen to it wherever you get your podcasts. 🔊 podfollow.com/womeninfocus
