The forecast for next week finally calls for perfect summer weather in Germany again, so:
Keep calm and tan naked!

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**I confronted my 52-year-old body at a naturist club**
Would getting my kit off in front of others help me feel happier in my own midlife skin? There was only one way to find out
By Katy Regan, 14 June 2026
It’s a boiling hot Sunday when I pull up to the big green gates of the Heritage Family Naturist Club, at the end of a leafy lane in Berkshire. Secretary Ken Clark meets me, as arranged. He’s naked from the waist up – I thought I’d have time to acclimatise – but then when he opens the gate to let my car in, I see he’s wearing shorts. Thank heavens.
Ken has that joie de vivre you might expect from someone comfortable in his birthday suit. “Welcome to Heritage!” he says. “You picked the best day for it!”
The Wedgwood-blue sky and chirruping birds only add to the feeling I’m in an English country garden utopia. Everywhere I look there are blousy rhododendron bushes, violet foxgloves and neatly trimmed privets (the puns are endless and irresistible; naturists themselves are the worst offenders), beyond which are manicured lawns surrounded by pretty wooden chalets, immaculately kept.
“I’ll leave you to get into uniform then,” Ken says cheerfully when we get to the clubhouse. It takes me a moment to realise he means get naked.
As a midlife woman struggling to come to terms with her ageing body, I’ve come to a naturist club for the weekend to see whether nudity might be the answer to my angst. There is scientific research to suggest it might be. People who take part in naturist activities report higher body satisfaction, greater self-esteem and increased overall life satisfaction. But will getting my kit off in front of others help me feel happier in my own skin? I’m about to find out.
A naturist club must be the only place on earth where you feel conspicuous if you’re wearing clothes. It’s strange how quickly the brain adapts, because within five minutes of being there, seeing people microwave their lunch butt naked becomes weirdly normal. Me getting my kit off? Not so much.
Total nudity isn’t compulsory at Heritage, apart from in the pool. But everyone else is starkers, so it only seems fair that I should be too...

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**“Nakedness proves that I’m more than a job or parent”: 8 women on how naturism has changed their lives for the better**
By Ashleigh Spiliopoulou, 04 June 2026
In 2026, it seems archaic to still be talking about the ‘bikini body’. Yet, new data shows the stress of ‘swimsuit season’ will prevent one in five women from going to the beach this summer. But could exposure to a sea of nude bodies be exactly what our self-critical minds need? Here, eight female naturists explain what embracing communal nakedness has done for their body confidence.
As I write this, we’re in the middle of a heatwave. I’m on the sofa in my pants, an electric fan blowing in my face. This, I think to myself, is the picture of British summer.
And it strikes me, as I look down at the rolls peeping over my briefs, what a dystopian moment this is for women’s bodies. As a baby of the late 90s, I was fortunate to miss the size-zero toxicity that coloured the 00s. My teens were shaped, yes, by influencers and chronic online comparison, but also by the idea – at least from a subsection of creators – that curves were not only acceptable, but something to be celebrated.
In 2026, that feels like a distant memory. Women’s bodies are, once again, seemingly on the table for discussion, with speculation over celebrity GLP-1 use regularly making headlines. At this year’s Oscars, for example, conversation centred less on the fashion and more on the bodies beneath the clothes, many of which were deemed to be a worrying return to ultra-thin ideals. Unsurprisingly, all this is having psychological repercussions...
