What can I say I was born in Scotland, I am fair skinned and tend to freckle as well, so a tan I have never really had, and frankly I am not interested in having one, I only need to take a look at my hands that have been exposed regularly to the elements, to see how wrinkled the rest of me would be if I were out sunbaking or exposed even for a little time per day, and skin cancer is a high risk in NZ, we have a very damaging rays here down under,. worse than Aussie even.,luckily I am not really an outdoors type of person.


Do I burn, absolutely like in a few seconds , and that has not happened to me very often. I keep well away from harmful exposure if I possibly can., I walk around with an umbrella in summer, I used to feel kinda silly, but a lot of Asian people moved in around the area, and they are sensible enough to use them all the time, so now I don't stick out like a sore thumb.
