Unfortunately, children don't seem to spend enough time outdoors these days, they break times are too short :(

You can burn red in less than half an hour even on a cloudy day if you have a susceptible complexion

But yes outdoors is great too

I find they aren't outside long enough in school to sunburn. By the time homework is done in the evening, the garden is in shade anyway. The sun, if it ever appears (I live in Northern Ireland) isn't usually out for long.
