After years of holidays and living in Turkey with no problems I spent half term out and about with grandchildren on my bike and got sunburn in England!
Tip for sunburn,mix a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water to ease pain.

Did you not use sun cream?

It did not seem that sunny and as we were near water with a nice breeze it felt cool. I am well stocked with sun cream now though, lesson learned the hard way. My grandchildren were all fine but I have very fair skin.

Well seen you don't live in Scotland - you would be rusty the amount of rain we are having just now.

Roll on July we are over in Calis for 2 Weeks has the weather improved, see it was a bit mixed in May!!!

Don't know how scientifically t can be confirmed but when I was a kid, mum used to apply yogurt on sunburnt areas of our skin...at least takes the burn out for a while...also in severe cases Honey seems to work

Yes yogurt is good for the relief of sunburn.Happened to me back in 87 our first visit to Turkey the restaurant in the hotel kindly gave me a load to smother myself with the smell was awful but what a relief....
