L, when do we ever get long hot sunny days?

I went to Spain once. They were seriously having a heatwave and warning locals not to go out during the day. What chance had us poor pale faced Irish got? But I love the sun, when we get it. You know the typical Irish person. Moans when it rains and moans when it is too hot.

Factor fifty suncream is epic.
I'm Scottish. I don't tan, and I'm pale as hell. I just go red. Doesn't matter how much I try, I'm not gonna go tanned.
It felt very awkward in California.

Sunburn is the worst, I feel the pain. I use the highest sun lotion I can get my hands on.
I like pale skin, I don't put false tan on...I did once ever.

Probably why us Scottish burn. Supposedly were descended from a load of Irish the decided to pop across the pond a couple of centuries ago or something. So thanks for the easy to burn skin. Heh.
I like my skin though. Not tempted to fake tan it.

Billy Connolly sums it up so well. Those first Irish to find Scotland. They come back to Ireland and say ' we have found somewhere wetter than Ireland ' And the Irish all cheered and ran to Scotland. ' What on earth where they all F'N thinking '.
I garden a lot. So I go brown easily enough. But I love the sun if it makes a rare appearance. For one day only, coming to Ireland this June, The Sun. Mind you, three years back we had a 3 month heat wave. Was hotter in Ireland than most holiday resorts. That was when L was sheltering in the fridge.

I don't go for long walks before 4PM. Too much sunburn risk. Sunblock feels disgusting.
How hot does Ireland get in a heatwave? Three years ago we were in what the Americans would class as the high 80's. Regular summer we are lucky to get close to their 60's. Moderate climate. Others years it has rained for the entire Summer months. One day of sun might be it. That one Summer was something special. Hotter here than in Spain and France. Even hotter than a lot of US states. Is very rare though. L doesn't always have to shelter in her fridge.
