SPF30?? Ours is SPF50+, it might even be the law…
Funny thing is that, although I insisted on my kids wearing sunscreen and they now do their kids, I have never actually put any on in my entire life, however I never go out without a hat.
All schools have a strict, “No Hat, No Play” policy

I suppose generally speaking attitudes change over the course of time. Back here in The UK if you returned from a weeks holiday in Herne Bay with a lobster red face and the skin hanging off it in shreds it was a sign that you’d had a good holiday!
I can vaguely remember my dad being complemented on his (peeling) skin damaged condition way back in the late sixties. I’m sure everybody didn’t think like that but many did!

A hat is essential in these heatwaves although, a good “Woolly Hat” can make 30° feel like 40°!

Yep, I lived by the seaside in Britain and my back/shoulders peeling was a regular occurrence every summer as was the occasional shade of lobster though generally I used to tan pretty well without getting burned even though peeling was fairly regular.

A timely reminder Bruce!
The bugs and mosquitoes really seem to like me, it’s said that they favour people with certain blood groups.

An avid sun worshipper all my life, due to health reasons I’ve now been advised to stay in the shade…I’ve never been so white !
So it’s factor 50 and fake tan for me now
No summer plans, I just take each day as it comes but it will involve walks, picnics and plenty of time out in the fresh air
Wishing everybody a great summer

Corks flapping about in your face are worse than the flies. Fly nets cost a few dollars I keep a couple in my car.
To be honest I rarely use them except when flies are in plague proportions and then usually when I am just sitting down, they are a bugger if you are trying to eat. When walking I usually use a bit of foliage as a swish.

No corks today thank you!
Just staying hydrated with plenty of sunscreen
Following my own advice, waiting for the live music to start, it’s too blinking hot! 
That’s a big camera you’ve got there.
Just an old classic d00d
I think the picture gives the impression that it’s larger than it really is.
