Welcome to the ANW mid April Newsletter.
We would like to wish all members who celebrate Easter a wonderful holiday weekend. We are celebrating with a Virtual Meet from our kitchen as we prepare and share Hot Cross Buns. (See Below)
If Easter isn't "your thing" there is still plenty to enjoy on ANW through April as we embrace Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and continue to explore this month's theme of Sport and Health.
Next month's theme of Naturist Gardening is based on World Naked Gardening Day on May 3rd. Not long now - so do start thinking about how you will be getting involved with this on the day and throughout May. We will be kick starting the month with a Virtual Meet on Naked Gardening Day and inviting people to join us from their own gardens.
May will also be ANW's 5th Birthday and we have some exciting and fun ideas in mind to celebrate and to take forward into next year, so it is a brilliant time to get more involved in the community (rapidly approaching the 14,000 milestone).

Interactive Project - This Naturist Sporting Life
Created as part of celebrating Naturist Sport and Health during April, for the 12 Days of Naturism. ANW Subscribers have been sending in their favourite naturist sporting photographs along with a short paragraph (up to 300 words) about how naturism enhances physical activity and/or keeping fit.

Amazing Albums
There is a real feeling of "summer is on its way" in the 28 albums created in the first half of April. As members old and new get out and about in the garden, on beaches, and rambling in nature. Gustavo takes us Cloud Forest Hiking. There are also fond memories of trips to Dolcoed and Euronat hiking.

New in the Members Blog Library
The following are extracts from the Members blogs library posted from early to mid April written by some of the subscribing Life and Annual Members of ANW for fellow subscribing members to enjoy:
Embracing Spring's Awakening Author Marc begins: "Spring tiptoes in after the long hush of winter. Buds unfold. The air softens. The sun stretches its arms a little longer each day. We feel it, even before we see it—the subtle shift, the gentle awakening. Spring has always whispered the same promise: begin again."
A Hike That Healed Marc writes "Yesterday, I wasn't feeling my best. My body seemed to be in a quiet battle, like when you're coming down with the flu—tired, heavy, with a night of poor sleep behind me. I woke up this morning still not feeling 100%, but the fog wasn’t entirely physical anymore. It was more psychological—a bit of a mental slump."
Sport and Naturism: The Perfect Pair for Comfort and Practicality Marc begins "As we are celebrating Naturist Sport and Health during April, I wanted to touch on a topic that is close to my heart: why it's better for the body and mind to practice sports entirely naked."
All subscribing Members are free to create blog posts in both the Members and Community blog library. If you have wish to do so but would like guidance first, please give Steve or Anna ANW a shout via their profiles or via emailing [email protected].

Naturist Beaches No: 56 Holywell Bay, Cornwall - A Naturist Family write "Our visit to Perran Sands/Liggar Bay, Penhale that we wrote about in Beaches No: 55 had been a wonderful success and we wanted to make the most of the late summer warmth."
Hey, it's Spring! Let's go outside... naked! Marc inspires us to recognise the change in the seasons: "It’s an invitation to reconnect—with nature, with freedom, with yourself."

Take Me To Working Holidays
A quote from Jack1892 posted on the Activity Feed:
" I check this site every day and I'm honestly so grateful that this site exists. ANW is truly the best naturist community around and is so free of the cliques that (in my opinion) plague... other naturist groups. I love seeing everyone's updates and I'm thankful to Anna and Steve for creating this bastion of real naturism".
Hop, skip and jump into Spring with us on ANW....
