Nothing like a beautiful day under the sun; except for the mortifying moment when you realize that you have been sunburned! If you are one of the very few people out there who has never experienced sunburn, consider yourself fortunate. The way that I described my first sunburn was as “a piece of the sun caught under my skin”.

“Sunbaking” as I like to call it has to be one of the most uncomfortable feelings that a human can experience.
