Sunscreen and SPF .... my top tips.

When you live in a converted steading you get an indication early on in the day if it is going to be a hot day. I hear by call a hot day!! Already been up to open all the windows physically possible.

It is amazing how that yellow thing in the sky boosts our moods and gives us way more opportunity to eat, drink, and play outside.
