I'm off to Tignes on Tuesday to catch the end of the ski season. Looks like there will be some fresh snow to play with
Here in Finland we have had a third mild winter, normally we see -35, but it only got down to -15 this year.
It was 12 degrees and sunny here on Anglesey yesterday, still didn't stop my burning my arms and neck whilst jet washing the deck and patio for 4 hours!
I really don't know what is going on with the sun this century, as a kid I never burnt.............. ;-)
Back in the early 60s, when I was 5 - 6 y/o, my parents and I used to leave about 100m behind the dunes of the Dutch/Belgian coastline. For two years I went to the beach. Summer and winter, rain or sun. I was homeschooled by my mum (who did an impressive job, btw). During that period, I never had a sunburn - partly because my mum slapped the sun cream all over my skin. Before I was born, my parents used to live in the Tropics (Asia and Brazil) so they understood the power of the sun and never underestimated it.
Nowadays, I am under the impression that the Spring sun has a more devastating effect on skin than later on in the season. My son sails between 15 and 25 hrs/week and he's getting a tanned colour as early as February. In my turn, I douse him in suncream as well. Only this year he has accepted that a cap is better for him as well...
Yesterday on Lake IJsselmeer near the Dutch Olympic Sailing Center...
Sunny moments...
And not so sunny...
