Return to wild swimming (overcoming my fear)

- Today I am carrying on with carrying on by going on my first swim since before I lost Miss Nancy. I had built up a wall in my head around this, I think from the trauma of the past couple of months, but I knew it was going to be the next step in trying to get back to myself. The South West coastal path was looking beautiful, the sun was shining, and I walked to what ended up being one of my best swims yet in Cornwall. #cornwall #wildswimming #southwestcoastalpath
Due to not keeping an eye on the tide we had to wade back out, which wasn’t a problem (the only danger I was in was that I was freezing cold) but it was a lesson to be careful as there are places is Cornwall you can get totally cut off by the tide.
Thanks for watching,
Tori (and the spirit of Miss Nancy) x
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here: www.victoriagracesilversmith.com
My new website with greyhound info and illustrations: www.MissNancysDayOff.com
Thanks to everyone who watches likes and subscribes we appreciate your support ❤️

Thank you all so much for your kind comments, I’m really sorry I haven’t replied to everyone this week I appreciate you! ❤
That’s pretty good so at least they’re two people that appreciate me obviously one =me two = you .good start tomorrow the world.
Your doing amazing. Miss nancy will allways be with you. Great video lovely views. Gorgeous lady ♥️
Good to see you out and about and tackling the grief in a positive way. We're all rooting for you Tori
Stay strong for miss Nancy ,she is at this moment running free & happily though a meadow towards her favourite beach and having fun
Unless you have never lost a companion like Nancy you will never understand the depth of loss. Keep going she would be proud of you.
are u talking about a dog
It's so good to see you start smiling again. Gradually the positive, happy memories of Miss Nancy will overtake the sadness of losing her. She'll never be forgotten or replaced and will only ever be just a thought away. As someone far more insightful than I once said, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." ❤
Beautiful walk and that pool is so special! I’d probably still only get my toes in but it’s stunning. You’re amazing ❤️
You look and sound well. Laughter and fun carry-on with your lovely self. ❤
If I could jump across the pond I would enjoy those little water holes. They look very healing. Spring is an excellent time to nourish the soul. 🎉🎉🎉
💜🧜♀️💜
Good filming! Nice location, my dog died age 17 years in 2019 , I have always had a dog! Then lockdown in 2020 I was so down and depressed 😔 my brother came around one morning (I live on my own) I said I have something for you? Went to his van in a cage a small puppy? I said oh no! I don’t want it! He said you will have to look after it for today I have to work? I said ok! He bought it in and put cage down in my front room! I ignored it for 1 hour it went asleep for 15 mins then woke up? Well the day turned into a week then a month later! Now he is 4 years old this Christmas Day! And my best mate 😂he is a bulldog cross fit as a flea and made as a hatter 😂 if you love and own animals them dying is hard ! But don’t let it put you off getting another one! You never replace Nancy but different dogs different things you love about them! So when you feel bit better! Get another one? A new puppy is a bringer of great joy and laughter 😂all the best xx
Thank you! I’m sorry that must have been so awful. It sounds like your brother knew what you needed I am glad about that 😊 dogs are so special you are right, he sounds like ana we some funny boy! I hope I will get another best friend too xx
Great to see you "carrying on" with steps in your coming back to life plan. We have to try to keep having great experiences and making wonderful memories. You definitely deserve to do nice things.
Your always take Miss Nacy with you in your heart be proud of your wild swimming achievements and no doubt Miss Nacy is looking down on you willing you on.
This is exactly what Nancy would want you to do carrying on ✌️❤️🙏
Good to see you getting out and about and overcoming your swimming fears, god bless you ❤
My absolute favourite place in the world 🙏👌🥰. So good to see you back swimming again 🏊... You are doing so well... keep going lovely ✊ 💕🐾🤗😘
Good to see you back in the water and to see your wonderful smile but i do feel sad when your feeling upset take care ❤🥰
Just a great presentation of beautiful water and coastline on a beautiful day. This is a wonderful pickmeup on a cloudy day. At last you showed some reaction to getting in such cold water, but you still went ahead and got in with your snorkelling sister! You certainly have acquired some of the building blocks of a healthy life - thanks for sharing.
Good to see your smile back. You're stronger than you think. You've just proved that in this video. Take care stay safe.😉🙏👍
You did so well Tori. Well done you!! Your video was a beautifully shot and edited. And you made it into the water too. Miss Nancy will always be with you, whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Sending you love and hugs ❤ xx.
I so look forward to your videos, they are so absorbing. Keep them coming Tori xxxx
That's my Girl. Good to see Tor smile again x . light wetsuit, keep you warm.
Thanks 😊 my sister says no wetsuits allowed for my cold water therapy! X
@@missnancysdayoff Ah for therapy yes agree 100%. Great to see you healing Tor x
Beautiful video, good to see you smile again.Keep going you will get there xx ❤
Beautiful video really glad to see you out and about, bet that water was lovely on a day like that keep the videos coming ❤
Miss Nancy is no doubt very proud of you watching from above ✨ you have faced your fear and will reap the rewards well done lovely lady 😃✨✨✨
Good to see you're on the mend and enjoying a swim.Stunning scenery and some sun at last.Take care❤
It's nice to see you out and about again. The native spring flowers along that coast where you are look amazing!
Those rock pools looks very inviting too for swimming although I'm not sure how you do it I imagine they would be very cold at this time of year. (I'm from Australia)
Well done! your positivity is very admirable.
It's a beautiful place. Glad to see you smiling. I think starting again at the place where you first went wild swimming with Miss Nancy is very healing. You shared somewhere beautiful with her, and returning there will give you good memories of your time with her. She will ALWAYS be with you. Sending you much love and healing white light xxx
Thank you ☺️ I do have so many amazing memories of Miss Nancy, I am so glad we explored so much I will have a lifetime of memories. Xxx
Lovely to see you smile and enjoy life again.
Hope it's a step towards healing you 😊
Thank you, I think so ☺️
It’s good that you went in. It’s a start and a huge milestone for you. Onwards and upwards. Behind you all the way.
Great to see you out and about again Tori. Amazing location too!
aww I cried as you did, thanks for sharing your swim, looks so beautiful there, hugs
Thanks for sharing Tori, keep going ❤
Wishing you all the beautiful times you keep doing your lovely filming and exploring all the best❤
Hi so nice to see you smiling again you have such a beautiful smile and I am sure Miss Nancy will be smiling down at you and to see her mum taking her first steps to recovery a beautiful video I wish you well take care and stay safe Xxx
Beautiful video Tori, Nancy was there watching you, I could feel it and you will love her forever.
So good to see you getting back out there, super brave, that water looked icy cold! Lovely to see that wonderful smile x 😊🙏❤️
Thank you 🥰 I was thinking all the time how cross she would have been about the water I’d have had to carry her back 🤭😅💔❤️❤️❤️ xx
@@missnancysdayoff she definitely would have not been happy about it, “where’s the boat?” I’m sure would have been the first thing she would have asked! Xx❤️❤️
What a beautiful place that pool is ☀️🙏💛
Thanks for a great video. Those views were amazing. Loved the close up of the flowers. Well done for negotiating those rocks while holding the camera.
Hey Tori , good to see you out on a beautiful day in a beautiful place, hope your good.
Aww it was a true delight seeing you getting happier and smiling :)
Your very brave Tori getting I the sea hats off to you and your sister, I wouldn't go in this time of the year without a wetsuit... July maybe but May..well done ladies
Thanks for taking us with you on another lovely jaunt
Little miss Nancy will be pleased your still going on mini adventures
Take care beautiful x
Thank you so much! I actually think wetsuits are torture devices I prefer the easy route 🫣 trying to keep going out for Miss Nancy x
Nice place for swim, caught skinny dipping on that very walk years ago and best ever dawn surf! Best wishes with the healing x
Hi tori great to see that smile back great filming baby steps and you will get there ❤
Look out you, out there getting stuck into your work. Keep on keeping on you legend ❤
Just back from the Lizard today to glorious Devon but had a great time walking and taking in the sites. Tori you are amazing getting back to wild swimming it is what miss Nancy would have wanted you to do. Also your lovely smile is coming back keep your chin up and keep smiling. Virtual hugs Tori take care.💗
This was so cool thanks for sharing this place.. was a bit worried u could slip on some of those rocks.. was such a nice vid 💗
Beautiful video Tori, thoughts & prayers are with you & Miss Nancy always . Be well . 🙏🐶😘
Thank you ☺️🐾
Beautiful places beautiful lady, better times ahead ❤.
Tori you smashed it!💪💪💪
Such a beautiful watch.
Made my day seeing you back in water. You are a tough girl.
You captured it all so well.
What a beautiful place.
The water is so clear.
I was willing you on😁
At 13 minutes I thought you were going to throw up, then you quickly just let it all go and went for it.🦸🏿♀️😁👏👏
Your sister is lovely being there for you. Great support.
You did great!
So nice to see you smiling.
You swimming and enjoying being alive and appreciating what we have outside will help and motivate someone else to do it also.
Beautiful watch, made smile👏👏👋💛
Thank you I am so glad you like it, the water really was so beautiful I could have stayed in all day. Ha ha it was touch and go my face was a picture, I am so glad I took the plunge though it felt so good after I’d got over the initial shock! My sister is the best ❤️ I hope your swimming is going well too! 🙏
@@missnancysdayoff
I loved it😁
You and a few other girls have helped me to do it. Thank you.
You have such a beautiful beach near.
My swimming is going well.
Last Saturday I went to a crash site and then a waterfall at the bottom of the mountain. Lots of waterfalls there.
I looked but couldn't find one deep enough. I thought I'll just have a waterfall shower then. It was going well, it was about 7pm, two people started watching me thinking what's he doing?
I thought I'll go now, so moved away from the waterfall and slipped on my bum and fell in the river 😂
I looked soo cool🤦🏻😁
It looks quite funny though. I'll keep it in the video. I’ve done two shorts and they've done pretty good. All new to me.
I was editing it as your vid popped up stopped.😁
I am the king of bad shorts and falling over.
Keep smiling happy girl, you did great!💪
Cut your finger but didn't bruise your bum like me😁 X
As usual wonderful scenes of the greatest coastline in the world- glad you got to swim, that looks enticing. You mentioned Mauritius, a place we went in 1988 and the Seychelles- we had done a month in St Lucia and Trinidad Tobago in May of 1988, but needed a real beach and coastline so came back and spent long weekend on Constantine Bay and Treyarnon Bay on the Northcoast.. Hand on heart- and in all honesty, stay in Cornwall, we have been to many countries, but nothing comes close to Cornwall. From Bedruthan steps all the way round to the spectacular kynance cove- is to be seen and enjoyed as much as possible . Look forward to more of your wonderful short films- time heals and Nancy will always be close to you, even when even when your on your sitting on the rocks of those glorious beaches ♥
Pretty incredible isn’t it, and to visit all those places and come back and think yep this is more stunning! Thank you ☺️
Glad to see you out-and-about making a film again. That Coast - if it isn't the Balm of hurt minds, I don't know what is...and you got a shot of Thrift in! Re: Sea swimming: I think you are right about the Mental aspect. No matter how gorgeous is the Turquoise - we still need Mental Strength to brave the Cold! I've been lacking somewhat in this department in recent years years...but you are a true Inspiration to me. ..One segment reminded me of a scene from an old Bond movie at one point 🙂...
Beautiful scenery tori, miss nancy will always be with you, she is part of you and only a thought away. Shout out to your sister who seems to be very thoughtful and supportive.
Thank you ☺️ My sister is a dear I don’t know what I would have done without her help these past months ❤️
Thank you for sharing - the weather looked fantastic, as did the walk along the Cornish coast. The sea looked amazing, and a little different to what we typically see in Essex!
An emotional walk of course, without Miss Nancy 😢
Smiles as well as tears, but that's just me, where you are now, and I've been there quite a few times!
We typically outlive them, but have loved them, enjoyed their company so much, maybe spoilt them a little......
Good to see that you took the plunge again, I hope that it helped on all levels for you.....if not now, maybe in the future 👍
hurrah! first swim out of the way. it was the right thing to do, all of it - except maybe for staying too long and having to wade back to dry land. well done, tori!
Wish you all the best my friend
Sorry to hear about miss Nancy, glad you feeling bit better
Hi beautiful so sorry about your dog. I know she was much more than that too you. I ❤ dogs too. Well done for facing your fears here and again you really are heavenly. Take care. X
Thank you ☺️ x
Lovely to see you again Tori, but I do believe you won't be whole again until you meet a new 4 legged bestie. I look forward to that day. In the mean time Love and best wishes from Sheba ( my 4 legged bestie), and myself. XX
Well said, totally agree! We take them into our lives knowing that we will probably outlive them. It's so sad when we lose them, but we never forget them, and getting another isn't a replacement, it's just making our heart bigger for more memories! 😍
I fear you may be right it’s been on my mind a lot. Hugs to you and Sheba! Xx
I found this such a inspirational film ,to see you have courage to move ahead, and tackle your first wild swim after a very sad time for you .
All the best wishes , take it easy and get some hot drinks inside you , after such a dip ! 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Lovely video,thank you
Love that part of the world! Walked it myself October last year, had the same weather as you too!
Well done on getting in the water again 🎉❤
pretty cool to see someone out reclaiming there life. loss makes the memories all the sweeter. the rest of it is out of our control. our time is our time and we need to embrace every moment. feeling inspired and encouraged by your attitude. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Hi Vicky, We Love that area of Cornwall. Your finding places we haven't even thought of, and we live here! Love getting of the beaten track! Your opening up new areas on our doorstep! We can see it might be a bit to soon for another Doggy just yet? Keep up your adventures. Nancy is always going to be with you 😀. We've been missing your videos.
Thanks so much! 😊
Your amazing hope your OK you look we'll and keep going miss Nancy needs u to stay strong remember she's watching you always ❤️
What a beautiful walk the colour of that sea is stunning
You really lighten my day,❤
Lovely to see you smiling again and swimming. I’m sure Nancy is in your thoughts every minute and she will not be forgotten. Such beautiful scenery. I moved down to Dartmouth at the end of Feb and now I’ve found a house in Cornwall so I hope I can experience some of these fabulous walks you take up on. Take care. Andy UK
Thank you ☺️ Wow so you have the boat and also a place in Cornwall? That sounds incredible
What a lovely heart warming video and so well made..David..
That water looks amazing ❤️✌️
I love this ...I know its difficult...but you are showing a real strength of character...I am learning a lot from you ...we have both experienced a painful loss , your strength is an inspiration to me ....I hope one day our paths manage to cross .....take care always....lee down in Wiltshire ❤❤❤❤❤xxx
Thank you so much, I hope you are doing ok. Less sea in Wiltshire but it’s beautiful countryside I think, you take care too ❤️ xxx
If it hadn’t of been for miss Nancy I wouldn’t have cotton on to your channel and these lovely places you’re bringing too us …..❤
There wouldn’t be a channel without Miss Nancy she was such a star 🥰 glad you are here ❤️
Well done you miss Nancy wil be proud great video
Smiling eh?! See? You're gradually coming back to form girl.
Good to see, hun.
Be well, safe and a little happier.
Love ya. Wolfie. Bristol.
I’ve just stumbled across your vlog. Took me a while to understand who you were missing. I’m sorry you’re hurting, please don’t ever feel bad for smiling or laughing because it won’t be too long until you will be doing just that while remembering all the ways Nancy made happy.
Thank you that’s really kind almost made me cry again
@@missnancysdayoff xx
Thank you for a lovely walk , it will take a lot of strength to carry on without Miss Nancy but I’m sure you are a strong person. Miss Nancy would have been proud of your swim just laying on her bed watching . Take care 👍😘
Thank you ☺️ She would have, or just thought I was totally mad, but she loved me anyway 🥰
Stay blessed ❤️✌️🙏
So sad for you losing Miss Nancy, it's heartbreaking. It's a cliche but time passes and it does get easier eventually 💖
The lichen on the rock looked like wirey carpet 😊
Superb weather we're having in the south 😎🌅
It’s amazing stuff I love those rocks, we have had a good run down here! 🌞
Hello Victoria, I’m glad you got back to the beach. Stay warm. I for one am still on your team . Cheers. Tom ( the yank)
Thank you ☺️
Well Tori Great adventure once again thank you for sharing.
I know it’s easier said than done but you have nothing to be guilty about you done everything for Nancy humanly possible she knows that ❤.
I might even go for a dip myself tomorrow Let’s see all the best from snowy and myself.💯😀
Thank you, I hope you and Snowy got your swim in! 😍
@@missnancysdayoff We haven’t had a chance to swim in the Mediterranean just yet fingers crossed soon.
Snowy is in having her uterus removed as we speak 🙏 In a veterinary outside Genoa
What a beautiful film. I hope to get there one day/ Cheers.
🙏
Hello beautiful,I hope you're having a better time,love how honest you are , thanks for lovely adventures,id love to stop by and get you lunch and wild swimming if things feel right,I love everything about you X
Your honesty in a world of fakes, and your eye for the small jewels of nature... I bet you'd be an excellent jewellery designer 😂 keep on keeping on Tori xx
Big hugs ❤
Bless you and Nancy. She'll be watching your every move. Keep her precious memories in your heart forever x ♥️
Glad to see you getting your Mojo back Tori.
Tori, it is great to see you starting to get back to "normality" I work with my clients to dispel the belief of F.E.A.R . (False evidence appearing real). We need to remind ourselves to challenge the permission statements that keep us trapped (If we always do what we always done, we will always get what we have always got). Bravo for facing your fears and continuing the road to recovery. Much love and appreciation for sharing your journey ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Tori, i never got to take Tia to any of these i've watched you in, she would've loved it however i took her to cornwall 5 x in the noughts, she loved the beaches, Lizard Point, Penzance, Mevagissey, many more, the hill climb walks above St Agnes, the boat trip around Polperro, so many memories, i know she's at side of me no matter where i walk or drive too, so your shadow and overlooking Angel will be Miss Nancy, the long bonds we created guarantees it, big hugs ❤❤
Thank you ☺️ ❤️❤️
I am truly sorry to be THAT guy, but you have the most beautiful radiant smile! if you're ever in Yorkshire, i would love to take you for coffee ha! But seriously, i hope you continue to grow in strength on your road to recovery and battle with grief. I am a dog sitter and i cannot imagine what you must be going through. We are so lucky to experience the love of dogs. Nothing like it! Keep going! ❤
Thank you, it’s up and down that’s for sure, you are right though we are so lucky to experience their love I think that more everyday ❤️
Keep being strong and try enjoy the little moments and reminders.
And if you’re in Yorkshire let me know ha!
Take care, be kind to yourself and look forward to the next vlog
I believe it was a very good idea to do "the full circle" and start again on a new page. But of course she will always be there in your heart and memories. This area is beautiful. I have walked there before and will visit again 🥰
Thank you 🙏 sweet MIss Nancy i was so lucky. It is a beautiful area to walk 🥰
Ah I love it, you've made so much progress. You're such an inspiration. This channel has very quickly become one of my favourites despite the sad circumstances.
Regarding that tent, yes the colour is hideous and can spoil the view but the reason you go for a bright red one instead of green (unless it's a military exercise or some other specific purpose) is that if you get into trouble it's easy to spot by rescue services from the ground or air. Anyway, one day I'll get myself back down to Cornwall I think, even if it's just by myself. I miss those walks, the beaches, the weather and actually I'd forgotten how much I like those funny, pointy little succulents that grow everywhere that you showed near the start. 😅
Thank you I’m so glad 😊 oh I never thought of that, so maybe tents people used to wild camp are green I thought it was to blend in so no one would notice you! Cornwall is pretty great and I am very keen on the amazing array of succulents here!
@@missnancysdayoff I have a green tent myself and yes it's basically to blend in because camping is not always legal where you want it to be. 😅 The bright colour thing is just a general good idea for most people.
It was so good to see your new video and you got back in the water. In the previous video you were asking for challenges, the ordinance survey does a scratch off map of the SW coastal path so you can mark your progress to completing it. It is £20 but I think worth it as an incentive. Let me know what you think. Keep smiling Tori and making lovely videos 🙂
Thank you, I will try ☺️ That map does sounds fun!
Hi, must have been cold your toe nails went blue😂😂,well done,didn't loose your sunglasses while swimming either.😊
You have been through a tough time and you need time to heal, don't be so hard on yourself, it does get easier with time ,I have a Jack Russell ,Rex , just over a year old now, I went through a very challenging time four years ago and ended up losing my job I had done for 21 years , I suffered panic attacks any time which is quite frightening, anxiety which I still have but not often now, in time get another pet , you'll know when it's right , lovely scenery .
thank you ☺️ I am glad you have recovered too that sounds like an awful time to get through.
❤ perfect 😅
Well done Tori, you showed such courage on this walk and you finally conquered your emotional and mental barrier to wild swimming again 💃🏻. As you mentioned in the video Miss Nancy would have wanted you to do it, she sat on the grass in spirit watching you I'm sure of that. You are definitely being very courageous far better than I was, you're not sitting around feeling sorry for yourself but getting out there and living!
Something a little bit concerning was when you said about feeling that you don't really deserve to be happy. It's understandable, but thoughts like this can increase over time and lead to not very nice places. So please try to always think that you absolutely do deserve to be happy! You are a giver and bring happiness to others so why shouldn't you receive happiness in return.
The feeling cold is definitely a stressed response. Our natural fight and flight system can go haywire when we experience such losses which can lead to a genuine feeling of coldness throughout the body due to the restriction of blood vessels and also can alter our perception of what is hot and cold as well. This will certainly ease with time. 🤗
BTW, Fortunately the subtitles worked on the sections of the video where the microphone wasn't up to too much.
Thank you ☺️ i hope she was there, looking at me like she always did wondering why I was so strange. Or just turning her head away and refusing to look at the spectacle. Ah believe me I also sit around and feel sorry for myself, it’s very up and down.
I know that’s not a very healthy thing to think, it’s just hard not to sometimes, when I feel like it’s all my fault and I failed Miss Nancy. Even though intellectually I know that isn’t true the feelings are still there.
Maybe it is just a terrible microphone, I thought it was only at the end it was bad was there loads?! 🫣
@@missnancysdayoff I've given homes to many pets who for reasons of disabilities, medical problems and age would find it hard to get a forever home. I knew with some we were living on borrowed time. But even though the time was short I still wanted to adopt them as they all deserved to live their remaining days in a safe home with plenty of love. But with each and every one of them I still felt I could of done more when they past. Even if the vet told me I did everything, I was at times crippled with guilt. Must be human nature. 🤔
I watch RUclips on the TV so perhaps the sound didn't come through as well as another device. For me sound dropped about half way through. Never a problem before. I'll check it on you next vid and let you know. 😊
Eres una mujer afortunada porque lloras de felicidad 😊
Bienvenida al club😊
😊
Es un video increible, la belleza del paisaje, tu belleza y la unión de las dos aguas, como dice julio iglesias,..agua dulce agua salada...gracias por compartir tus experiencias.
Un beso de verdad desde España para una mujer extraordinaria ❤❤
❤️🙏
I miss the pup. But thanks for the small journey.
Me too 😖
Ballowall, on the cliffs above your head, was a great place to watch the August '99 total eclipse, and the walk from Sennen includes one of the few places you can find alkaline loving orchids in Cornwall, if my memory is still intact!
Beautiful scenery, beautiful walk, beautiful person, but enough about me. The vid was OK
