Don't knock it until you've tried it!

Yes well. We were totally secluded too. I was surprised a couple of
times by neighbours. One day our rural bus broke down and they laid on a
double-decker higher than the hedge. Around then, I got skin cancer.
Never think that tan is protecting you, it's not.

More people die in bed than anywhere else, so statistically laying in bed is
the most dangerous thing you can do.
I don't think a tan is protecting me, I just like not to have to wrap myself
up for the sake of other people. I know the risks and am prepared to take
them. Looks like you did too. Sorry to hear about your problem, I hope it's
been fixed. My mother-in-law, who hated the sun all her life and rarely went
out in it got skin cancer, which she lived with for about 10 years until she
died of an unrelated heart attack.
Such is life.
