From naturism to storytelling, Nick Davieson writes about self-acceptance and belonging. His work reminds us that vulnerability and setting are inseparable in good fiction. A refreshing read for writers who believe stories should feel lived in: buff.ly/N2NXiqb @skerridmawr.bsky.social

The Glamorgan Heritage Coast at Llantwit Major. Blue lias cliffs, of the Jurassic Period, stand tall against the unrelenting tides of the Bristol Channel on a fine day. #monochromemonday #wales #coastline #mensmentalhealth #naturalbeauty #jurassic

The stillness of a Winters Day. Vivid green moss covers the sprawling branches of a long fallen tree, yet it makes me feel alive. #forestfriday #wales #forest #woods #mensmentalhealth

Monochrome Monday. Winter on my favourite beach. Sat naked upon the bow of The Altmart; the floundering steelworks my only company. #nudeart #nudeartphotography #wales #beach #iphone #selfie #monochromemonday

As the sun sets in the west, the withering leaves of a sapling birch sparkle like orange gems against an azure sky. #wales #forestfriday #treescape #scape #canon1100D #forest #sunset

The delights of a Welsh forest ❤️ Late afternoon sunshine streams through the conifers on a clear, fresh autumn day. I stand alone, enjoying the splendid isolation, before heading back to civilisation. #forestfriday #trees #treescape #scape #wales #forest #mensmentalhealth

Enjoying the last of the lowering sun upon my back on a fresh forest afternoon. Beautiful light and splendid isolation. #nudeart #forest #wales #naked #iphone #selfie Non Sexual Nudity

Every author’s story begins differently. For Nick Davieson, it began 40 years after watching his mother type plays at night. At 62, he wrote Skerrid Mawr, a debut that explores nature, liberation, and late-life creativity. Read his WriteStats interview → buff.ly/N2NXiqb @skerridmawr.bsky.social

Clothing Optional Swim. Visited my favourite lake venue again today, for a naked swim. Myself and one other guy were joined by four ladies, two naked and two in costumes. No issues, just safe,respectful & enjoyable for all of us. #lovinglife #respect #wildswim #nakedswim NON SEXUAL NUDITY

Forest Exploration on a wet Welsh morning. I took a small unknown pathway, only to find this Trig tucked away in an overgrown copse. Worth interupting my run for a Trig selfie 🤗 Non Sexual Nudity #Wales #nakedrun #trig #nodickpic #forest #freedom #run

Time Out from my Mountain Bike Ride through my favourite forest. So quiet. Here, at the ancient ‘ Curley Oak ‘, surrounded by pine trees I stand in awe. NON SEXUAL NUDITY #wales #forest #naturism #selfie #iphoneselfie #birdsong #mindfulness

I visited the true location of my novel ‘Skerrid Mawr’ again yesterday. On the edge of the Cynffig River, the dunes, and the sea beyond seemlessly combine with vast driftwood to provide the perfect escape from life for a while. Why wouldn’t you?

British Summer Time. Get Up & Get Out when everyone else is still in bed. A beautiful 5k naked hike and home by 9:30am. I owned the forest this morning. Shangri La 🤗 #forest #wales #hikenaked #naked #nakedhike
