So am I.

The last time I lay in the hammock and got some hot sun on my ol' creaking
bones was early October. That's been nearly 5 months, no wonder my skin is
all pale and pasty.


Well I'm still quite tanned Nick! Then again I don't mind going out in the
wind/rain/snow/frost /fog it all helps to keep the dartmoor glow, or is that
the effects of radon LOL :-)

The UV & sun strength should start shooting up once we get into March.
Could even get a UV Index of 5 by the end of the next month.

Last Sunday was pretty sunny. OK wind chill -5C, but the sun was still
strong up at 1500 feet.
