Andrea came to visit me for a catch up and I took her to one of my regular swimming holes after we had enjoyed lunch at The New Bookshop in Cockermouth.
I took her to an eddy pool in the River Cocker and as we entered the water I explained that it slopes off quick quickly, a bit like a pudding bowl in shape. Hence the title of the design! This piece was inspired by swim guide Suzanna Cruickshank and her little dog Rosie in the Lake District. Suzanna took me to a hidden eddy pool on the River Cocker and, as we waded in, she smiled and said, “This one’s like a pudding bowl.” The name stuck, and so did the memory – of clear water, good company and the simple joy of discovering a new swim spot.
Emerald Water, Autumn Jewels
I adore this print. Andrea created it after spending the day with me and my swim group and she perfectly captured the magical swim we enjoyed in Eskdale's River Esk gorge. The water was just nine degrees, but it was a lovely sunny autumn day and everyone was mesmerised by the way the leaves were swirling around in the flow of the river.
Warmer in than out!
This design was inspired by a swim in Buttermere lake in the English Lake District, and depicts the swimmer's knowledge that the water is often warmer than the air temperature. Many of my swimmers will recognise this location.

Misty Swim
It’s January. The water is a tranquil turquoise colour, but it’s only five degrees, and you can hardly see the bank on the other side because of the mist. This is one of my personal favourites of Andrea's prints and I just adore swimming in conditions like this.
Andrea created this artwork after surprising a cyclist passing by her local lake early in the season.
