I visited a British nudist beach for the first time and it was hilarious – now I'm hooked on being naked on holiday
DURING our recent heatwave, when UK temperatures hit a sizzling 34 degrees, I must have caught a touch of heatstroke, as I had this mad idea... I wanted to get naked. Publicly. In the throes of post-divorce life, I'm having, what I like to call, a midlife renaissance –not crisis! 6 6 6 This is presenting itself in the form of tattoos, endless trips abroad, and, ahem, a foray into naturism. Nude sunbathing is not just about thrill-seeking, it's also about reclaiming my body. Now in its 53rd year, my beautiful sack of sausage skin has housed three children – two at the same time, in fact – it has run marathons, climbed mountains, and suffered more than its fair share of debilitating hangovers, but so far (touch wood) it has never let me down. Nakedness is just one of the many things I'm enjoying about getting older. I grew up in seventies suburbia, when our bits and bobs were largely kept under wraps. I was twenty before I exposed my body publicly. It was a girls' holiday in Majorca '92 and still tipsy from the night before, my friends and I decided to go topless and I can remember how liberating and natural it felt. While thirty years later my pups aren't as pert as they used to be, but it doesn't mean that they don't deserve their time in the sun. Brigitte Bardot started the trend for topless sunbathing in 1958 on Pampelonne Beach in St Tropez. Lorraine presenter strips completely naked as she heads to UK's 'biggest naturist festival' Presumably ending up golden bronzed with no tan lines - seems like a great idea to me. A few years ago, I visited the same beach in France and topless bathing was still very much the norm, particularly amongst Gallic women my age. I was tempted to let the girls hang loose too, but my teenage son threatened to call the authorities. Since getting divorced, I have travelled around the world on my own and with friends. My kids are older now and prefer going to the beach with their mates. Luckily, I didn't have to travel as far to find my local nudist beach. As a Brighton girl, the naturist beach, which opened in August 1979 and was the first public nudist beach in the UK, was the butt ('scuse the pun) of many jokes growing up. 6 6 6 Naturism in Britain became popular in the seventies but British people still a bit stiff upper lip about flashing your bits in public. However, according to British Naturism, there are now 6.7 million naturists in the UK today. I keep this figure in mind when I take myself down to our nudey beach on a sunny afternoon. Walking towards the clothing-free zone, I start to feel a little nervous. What if I know someone? Or someone recognises me? Sandwiched between two 'normal' beaches, where children squeal and splash in the shallows, the clothing-free area is shielded by a bank of pebbles and has signposts warning bathers they're entering Brighton Naturist Beach. Peeking over the top of bank, I could see forty maybe fifty men and women of all ages sunbathing naked, bar the odd couple of ladies who were just topless. I take a furtive look around and casually wander over to a quiet spot and fling down my towel. I unclip the clasp of my bikini top, fling my arms in the manner of Barbara Windso r in Carry On Camping, and it drops on to the pebbles. I look around again, take a deep breath and then shimmy out of the bottoms. Of course, nobody bats an eyelid at this now naked, middle-aged, woman grinning like a Cheshire cat. Naturist etiquette means no staring, no pointing and certainly no photography. At first, I lie on my front and look around at everyone minding their own business, and enjoy the sun beating down on my bare bottom. It felt like I had joined a secret club. With no dress code. Being naked around other people is a strange but exciting sensation. I'm very aware of the cool pebbles imprinting their shapes on my bum cheeks the fresh salty air blowing around my lady parts –a blessing in this heat. Far from feeling vulnerable, I feel safe, relaxed and I'm only sorry I haven't tried it out sooner. Relaxing further, I start reading my book and soon forget that I'm lying stark naked on my local beach. Now feeling cocky – again, do excuse the pun – I saunter down to the waters edge for a little dip in the briny sea. This is the moment when I became a fully committed nudist. Swimming in sea as nature intended is easily the most fun you can have with your clothes off. Well, almost... I have never felt more free. In fact, even when the summer is over and I can't tan with my top off, I am planning to come back for more naked dips. Just me and the sea, there is nothing like it. Turns out, my new appreciation for social nudity has arrived just in time. This summer, thousands of people across the the UK will be dropping trow for the Great British Skinny Dip, a campaign by British Naturism to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. There are 500 or so events happening all summer and all over the country, so beware, a certain naked divorcee could be coming to a city or beach near you soon. Five of the best beaches in the UK to get starkers on the sand Go natural with the naturists. The UK beaches to bare all without blushing this summer Studland Bay, Dorset Officially, Britain's most popular naturist beach with wide sandy plains and lots of space to spread out. Park at the Knoll Beach car park before an easy hike along the half-mile beach until you reach the National Trust boundary informing visitors that 'naturists may be seen beyond this point'. The Strangles, Cornwall This naturist beach is perhaps the most beautiful in the UK. It's so secluded it was once used by smugglers, making it ideal for shy first-time nudists. The shoreline has large rock pools to cool off in, but open-water swimming is not recommended due to the strong tide. Park near the National Trust farm of Trevigue. Then, it's a walk down to the well-signed beach. Brighton beach, Brighton One of Britain's oldest and most popular nude beaches is also the most accessible, only a mile walk east of the famous Brighton Palace Pier. Brighton made a little bit of seaside history on 1 April 1980 when it opened its naturist beach - the first public naturist beach in the UK. Signs are provided to indicate where the naturist beach commences and large banks of pebbles shield you from the general public. Druridge Bay, Northumberland Each autumn equinox, Druridge Bay hosts the annual North East Skinny Dip, with more than 100 participants. The dune-backed sands are beautiful and offer privacy, so are well-loved by naturists. Park at the National Trust car park then hike towards Chevington Burn, a shallow waterway that crosses the broad beach. Dyffryn, Gwynedd This is a long sandy beach with easy access but can get windy on a blustery day, so many sunbathers bring a windbreaker for added protection and privacy. Linked to the Morfa Dyffryn National Nature Reserve, the sea here is clean and safe, so a popular spot for naked swimming.

I'm a psychotherapist, this is the scientific reason why pampered celebrities like glamorous millionaire Molly-Mae Hague are NEVER happy... they're addicted to moaning
From the outside, celebrities often seem to have it all: Stunning looks, wealth, a gorgeous partner, an army of fans, an enviable wardrobe, beautiful homes, a dedicated glam squad... so why do so many also have a penchant for complaining? A mental health expert told the Daily Mail that MOANING is addictive, and even the rich and famous can struggle to free themselves from its clutches. Debbie Keenan, a BACP senior accredited psychotherapist, explained that it's human nature to focus on the negatives. This is because our brains have evolved to stay alert for potential dangers and threats—but while they once would have looked like a sabre-toothed tiger or landslide, now we often get worked up about relatively minor inconveniences. Ms Keenan said: 'This is called negative bias, and unfortunately it is more powerful than positive bias. 'Imagine a net, which is your mind, and as your thoughts pass through, only the bad ones get caught, sticking like velcro. 'Thoughts are not facts, we have about 60,000 of them a day and we hang on to the negative ones, we let all the positive ones go! 'If someone said one criticism about you, and 20 other people said positive things, it would be the negative criticism you'd be thinking about tonight.' Last month, former Love Island winner Molly-Mae Hague was blasted by fans for 'always moaning'. The mother-of-one, 26, raised eyebrows when told fans she's 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite glamorous holidays in Dubai, France and Spain, plus a staycation at Center Parcs. She also vented about a disappointing family trip to the Isle of Man with her partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi, 2. It was their first trip out in Tommy's new £86,000 motorhome; but Molly-Mae used the video to complain about the traffic and having to change her daughter's routine—leaving fans shaking their heads in dismay. And there were more moans to come. Speaking in a vlog posted to her 2million YouTube followers, she said: 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing.' Ms Keenan understands that people naturally become frustrated, but there's a time and a place to let it out—and it's not on social media. She said: 'If you want to vent, social media probably is not the healthiest place to do it. 'When celebrities with millions and millions of followers—from all walks of life, who follow them for escapism—start moaning, it's like they're a standing on a pedestal in a pair of Louboutin heels complaining that their feet hurt while everyone walks around on the pavement barefoot. 'People look up to them, and they're moaning and groaning about things that may be minor. 'They're complaining about their holiday to Dubai and a luxury lifestyle most people can never access, while their fans are struggling to make ends meet. 'It comes kind of from a place of privilege and entitlement and it's kind of a slap in the face for their followers who are struggling. 'You can't help but think, "What's the intent? Why are they doing it? Is it for attention? Is it for validation? Is it self esteem, or is it something deeper?" 'It's quite sad, really.' When Ms Keenan works with clients who are caught up in negative thought loops, she teaches them cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to help nip them in the bud. 'If you're constantly offloading and moaning, it can become a vicious cycle until you don't even know you're doing it any more,' she said. But when it comes to influencers, the nature of the industry means they are often surrounded by hangers-on and yes men who enable their behaviour, plus adoring fans who validate their every word. Furthermore, moaning can be good for business: so when their monetised videos are clocking up millions of views and generating thousands of pounds, there can be little incentive to change tact. She said: 'They're often surrounded by people pleasers who don't want to call them out on their behaviour. It becomes rooted and ingrained. It becomes a behaviour whih can be quite toxic. 'Because it's not challenged, they're going to do it more and more. 'And when it comes to social media, they're going to do it even more the next day, because people are sympathising and validating what they're saying. 'And even if they're not sympathetic or in agreement with the content, people are commenting and interacting, they are still giving it their attention. 'It can quickly snowball.' Working as an accredited BCAAP therapist, Ms Keenan often deals with clients who can't shake themselves out of a glass half empty mindset, even if they're not diagnosed with depression or another mental health condition. 'The reasons for negative thinking can deep rooted; it might be related to low self esteem or low self worth,' she said. 'They might have learned in childhood that moaning was the only way to get attention, to get validation, to get their voice heard. 'Maybe moaning and complaining was the only way they could get people to listen to them. 'It can be also be a sign of unmet emotional needs. Someone who is constantly moaning may have deeper issues, perhaps they're lonely, or they're isolated.' As the old adage goes, misery loves company—but ironically, incessant moaning can leave you isolated because people can quickly get fed up of making an effort with persistent doom-mongers. 'You could be moaning for decades, and you might find that people stop listening to you,' she said. But, worryingly, things can go the other way. Ms Keenan said: 'Happiness is infectious, but so is negativity—if it's left unchecked, it spreads like water.' Molly-Mae also came under fire for griping to her sister Zoe—who left fans reeling after moaning that her 5* trip to Bali wasn't luxurious as she expected and she was leaving the Indonesian island for the more familiar climes of Dubai—that she had had a rotten summer. Molly-Mae said: 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year not to mention a glamorous trip to watch the tennis at Wimbledon while wearing a pricey designer outfit. Ms Keenan said that one of the best ways to combat negativity in ourselves is to face it head on. 'Write down the negative thought, evidence for, evidence against—not your opinion, just the facts. 'Start to learn to be grateful, write down what you have in your life and what's going well, because it won't all be negative, unless you're really in a in bad way. 'When you have a negative thought, take a breath. You don't have to accept it, thoughts are not facts.'
