We are owners of a villa in Gumusluk. Every year we spend some time in March or April in Gumusluk, visiting the villa and making sure that all is in order for our forthcoming guests. There is always a lot of work to do: repainting the inside, the pergolas and/or the outside teak table and chairs, cleaning the carpets, replacing the BBQ, the lampshades etc etc.
SLIP into a long-sleeved shirt and into the shade. . Generally, fabrics with a tighter weave and darker colours will give you greater protection from the sun. There are also certain fabrics on the market that have a SPF rating.
SLOP on plenty of broad-spectrum SPF30+ sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outdoors.
SLAP on a hat with a wide-brim or a cap with flaps – more people get sunburned on their face and neck than any other part of the body.
WRAP on a pair of wrap-around sunglasses – UV radiation is just as dangerous to eyesight as it is for the skin.
It’s warm and sunny, but very windy this morning and we sit outside, our seats hugging the house wall as we eat our breakfast.
Just the right weather for kitesurfing. There are a number of enthusiasts in view from our vantage point, with their colourful kites pulling them at breakneck speeds through the water. It’s fascinating watching how they change speed and direction and flip their boards out of the water and momentarily take flight as the force of the wind takes them aloft.
