Today the day starts bright and clear with no clouds in the sky to upset my sunbathing plans. By late morning I have the sun-loungers out on the lawn, strategically placed to catch the sun yet retain as much privacy as possible.
This does not mean total privacy - in fact not much privacy at all. My neighbour still has not repaired his fence and so from some angles they have a clear view onto my patio. Dispensing with ideas of modesty I use the garden anyway. After lunch we retire to the patio and whilst not making any effort to be provocative I continue to use the garden as if the fence panel was still in place. My neighbours come and go but have not called out to us and nor have they complained. I hope that they are broad-minded enough to accept that I am a naturist and live and let live. So far, so good.
It may be March but I have definitely caught the sun today. This is the start of building up my tan ready for the summer. At least when it gets here I'll be well acclimatised and not prone to burning like those who start late and rush it.
