I sit outside and read every morning and periodically throughout the day. IMO nothing beats the natural vitamin d from the sun.

I'm English with some Scots, so I have what is known by some as blue skin. It's when your skin is so pale that you have a faint blue tint because your veins are all visible. Obviously this means I have had a life of sunscreen and hats (even as a kid) and the terrifying spectre of skin cancer.
I will be getting more sun now. Balancing risks is something we probably all get, and this is my latest one.
