Problem with this blog resolved

Firstly it has been too long since we posted an entry on our blog.

As can be seen from our last entry we have been busy establishing ourselves at Le Chateau and this has lead to what appears to be a compression of time. Also we have beeing awaiting our new Internet connection which has taken a month and we have had to use our portable WiFi and a netbook to keep online. This thankfully has now been resolved.

Secondly in the last couple of days it appears that a site that we link to has been compromised with malware and we have therefore removed the link to this page from the site so we hope now that things will return to normal.

We will start posting again on a more regular basis.

Follow Your Bliss

..if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.

Well we have followed our bliss and taken the step to move to a beautiful part of the Australian coast, Nelson Bay, where we will own and operate Le Chateau Naturiste a beautiful Naturist Bed & Breakfast.

We have been guests of Le Chateau over the last few years and believe it is the gold standard for a Naturist B&B with facilities that include, pool, tennis court, billiard room, large tiled sunny courtyard, spacious living areas and a gym, spa and sauna.

All just 2 1/2 hours north of Sydney and it will be a real privilege to continue this high standard and run this Naturist retreat where you can shed your clothing and your worries.

We will be open from the 6th of September and will take our next part of our Naturist journey. We are both looking forward to meeting new Naturist friends and having the privilege of introducing new Naturists into the joys of social Naturism and the many benefits both mental and physical of this wonderful lifestyle.

We are looking forward to welcoming guests to:

The simple pleasures.

Here we are in July, winter here in Australia, and although mild by European and North American standards it can still be cold and wet.

A few Saturdays ago it was wet and with a cold breeze but Sunday dawned with a beautiful clear day.

I had made myself some breakfast dressed only in a tee shirt and jacket ( my winter uniform ) and as I looked out over the courtyard to the east the sun came over the ridge and I felt it's warmth. With that I took my cup of tea outside and enjoyed the sun.

Soon it was warm enough to remove both tee  shirt and jacket and I felt the increasing warmth of the sun all over my body.

I then began to ponder, if I had not been a Naturist I would not be enjoying this great sensation of the warmth of the sun and the occasional slight breeze caressing my body.

It is in these moments that I wish those with a clothing compulsion could experience what I was experiencing, as I am certain that many would be converted to a clothes free lifestyle based on this experience alone.

No sex please we're Naturists!

I remember the title of a movie from the 70's called "No sex please we're British". I cannot vouch for the quality of the movie as I cannot recall the content and that probably speaks volumes, however the title came to mind when I started to consider this topic.

We see more of a sensual rather than sexual aspect in the practice of the Naturist lifestyle. The senses certainly work much better without the restriction of clothing and this plus the knowledge that one has broken through a societal taboo could explain the joy and freedom that is experienced.

There is no doubt that we are sexual creatures and there is a natural instinct to regard the naked body of the opposite sex if only from a point of curiosity.

However we are also able to go beyond a mere instinct response.

Were it otherwise males would not be able to restrain the arousal response within a nudist setting, yet this restraint is clearly what is observed and experienced.

We transcend instinct when we accept and respond to agreed behavioral limits within a defined Naturist setting such as a clothing optional beach, a club or Naturist resort.

In a broader societal sense a monogamous state would not be possible otherwise.

All this goes to prove that the dominant sex organ in the human body is in fact the brain!

This is why Naturists can rightly claim that nudity does not equal sex.

Anything about the naked body is news!

On Friday the Sydney papers carried an article about a Royal Australian Navy officer who was facing a court-martial panel on a charge committing an act of indecency by using a mirror to spy on a female shipmate in the showers. The outcome was that the officer was reduced in rank and fined approx $5,700.

Now I'm not going to comment on the case itself, except to say that what was done was inappropriate in the circumstances. The thing that I found interesting was that I am sure there are many misdemeanor's  that are dealt with in the services by a court-martial panel, everything from petty crimes, to more serious offences and yet rarely do they make the press.

But because this case involved nudity - shock horror!!!! the press found it news worthy!

Our society equates the naked body with sex and sex sells, so this story becomes titilation to the masses!

Sailor convicted of shower spying                   
AFTER 20 years of an unblemished naval career, and having completed his technical engineering exams only last Friday, a 37-year old lieutenant has been convicted of committing an act of indecency by using a mirror to spy on a shipmate in the showers on board HMAS Parramatta this year.
