Thanks John, so do I.
Unfortunately with the menopause came body image issues and it became just home where she would get naked, other than in hotel rooms if we were away, but then we stayed at Manor Farm in Strete in 2018 (although the only time she went naked outside the tent was at 4am one morning to check out the guy ropes during hurricane Bronagh ) and she has said she might be up for a beach or swim visit next year.
I hope she realizes that while the body has changed, the soul hasn't, and she can still get everything out of nudism that she did before. My wife doesn't look the same as she did when we married, and after she went through the "change," but she is still beautiful to me. And her friends don't care what she looks like now, they'll love her just the same.
We all change and mature with the passing years. These changes are in part physical but wisdom allows a certain mellowness to add to the mix. I honestly think the human form is beautiful and age has made me realise that.
Naturism is a wonderful way of being close to friends and family in a special way. I am certainly less judgemental now.

First time naked for my (now ex) wife was on the rocks to the west of Playa de las Americas in 1986. This was before the resort extended to become Costa Adeje and was quite popular with singles and couples who didn't want to sit on the dark sand beaches in the resort centre.
My current partner knew I was a naturist when we met in 2008 and our first nude beach experience was at Whitford on Gower. We are now both avid naturists travelling all over Europe to enjoy nudist beaches and locations.
Missed our trips this year, although the beautiful beaches in south Wales have been our salvation.
@gwalterj That's awesome. Good for you guys; it must've been a great weekend!

It was, but more significantly, she now reminds me to book short stays at Clover Spa (where we are now) and wants every holiday we take to be at a naturist hotel.

Not the same, but some simularities with us. Way back when I was young I met this fantasic babe with a body to die for and for some reason she liked me - this skinny unsure person, but thought she was wonderful. My parents were prudes as I suspect many were in the UK. But this fantasic woman was so liberated and would do things that never crossed my mind. Anyway it was me that first went nude for non sexual reasons - just at the top of our garden after we were living together in a house we bought together. After telling her, of this great experience we were both out there naked whenever the sun was shining. After moving to our next house (more private) we would be out in the garden naked whenever it was warm enough and my suggestion to go to a nudist club was greated with enthusisum along with days on UK nudist beaches. On holidays we frequently went to nudist beaches in Italy, France, Portugal, Spain etc with no hesitation at all from my wife. We took pictures with her naked me naked and both naked together - showing them to friends and family without concern at all - we just liked not to wear clothes. On some occasions when people / friends dropped by unplanned and we were naked, no issue, although she normally insited we dressed to ensure our friends were comfortable (after 10 minutes or so), non of our friends were nudists, although one couple were happy being naked with us.
But now (in our 60's) I'm still the same, I like to be naked when I can, gardening naked etc, but my wife - no way, true her figure isn't what it was, but so what and it's not just that she wants to hid her naked body even from me apart from sex and some other occasions, its that she is uncomfortable with anyone naked including me.
When did it change? - I'm not sure, my wife's weight and physic has often changed up and down and normally even when overweight she still sunbathed naked in our garden - but didn't want others around. Now sex and hot tubs is the only time I see her naked even though I try to give assurance.
Wishing and hoping things to return to as they were!
