At times, March has been just a little bit too hectic. After five fantastic days in snowy Québec (they've had five metres this year) I had a couple of weeks at home.

Last weekend I tried cold water swimming for the first time - and, because I'm slightly deranged, I loved it. There's more on that below. I also went to see the new Cirque du Soleil show, Varekai, at the Royal Albert Hall. It was breathtaking - if you get the chance, you must go. I've also been gearing up for publication of Mad Dogs and an Englishwoman, and starting work on a book for Bradt about incredible winter experiences.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And welcome to the first ever edition of the PollyEvans.com newsletter. It's unlikely ever to be worth a lot on ebay, but print it off and you'll find it's perfect for making paper aeroplanes, for using as a firelighter, or for screwing up and stuffing in draughty holes about your house...
