#internationalwomensday swim and #lido 6

#reflections

This week we’re showing love to people of all faiths and none. Greenbelt is rooted in the Christian story, but our arms are outstretched to everyone. Atheist. Jew. Muslim. Humanist. Sikh. Hindu. Agnostic. Jedi. Everyone’s welcome. Just bring an open heart and mind (and maybe some fairy lights).

Good thing he travelled with us #bearwithus
