Silver Bunny 'Bloom' starts each morning with a swim. Lake, loch, or lido – as long as it’s open water and bracing in temperature, she’s in. (She claims it “sharpens the whiskers”.)

To look at her you'd expect spa days and herbal teas. But no – she prefers the thrill of a foggy dip at dawn. She’s even invented her own stroke using her ears as propellers! 

Afterwards, she wraps up in a woolly towel, jots down her split times, and insists it’s “not competitive” – though she’s absolutely racing the ducks.
