Really, for the rest of your days in OZ you are supposed to cover yourself from head to foot in clagggy white gloop, four times a day, repeat for each child to ensure they do it properly, sweat profusely to add to clag, evening comes add foul smelling turpsey smelling stull like aeroguard to keep the mozzies off. Its a wonder Australian women ever get pregnant, the smell of that lot should put anyone off their stroke.

Hardly the same as Ambre de solaire in costa del palmos is it.

:scared:
Thanks Dotty for bringing us down to earth. I'm planning on going to Melbourne where it isn't so hot.

What no sun tan cream for the kids on holidays to Spain? and as for mozzies, I think Dotty has got the rose tinteds on

As for UK weather you have to take a kit bag full of survival gear for the kids, extra jumpers change of clothes for soakings and then a t shirt for when the sun comes out cover for the push chair, brolly wellies I could go on

Although it was dark and the wind was howling this morning when I got up, it was still quite mild and that was at 6am. Had a cup of tea outside before I went in and got dressed.
