Sully Island Tai Chi visit.

At midday today thirty odd members of the Rising Phoenix Tai Chi group met at Swanbridge near Sully in the car park of the Captain's Wife pub. In good weather, and with the tide still ebbing to its lowest point, we crossed over rocky causeway on to Sully Island a quarter of a mile off shore. It was our first outing of the year for an open air workout of Chi Gong exercises with the first quarter of the Tai Chi short form to crown the occasion in conclusion.
It must be over thirty years since I last visited this little slice of off-shore Wales, when the children were young. It was great to be free to roam the island's length and breadth and take photographs of the landscape. You'll find them here. Exercising as a large group in the open air on a good day is always an enjoyable experience. The feel of a spongy carpet of grass underfoot, and the unevenness of the ground surface is refreshing for the feet and ankles after the firmness of the best of sprung wooden church hall floors.

Spring is unmistakably here!
