Poolside Calm

#hellohalloween The leisure centre at Minella is lovely in the early hours. The pool is warm and quiet, the water reflecting the glow from the windows. After a few slow laps, I sat outside wrapped in a towel, watching steam rise as the morning sun broke through the clouds. The combination of warmth, chill, and silence felt meditative. There’s something about water here — river or pool — that always brings a sense of calm and renewal.
