Artist's Comments

With my pale skin, I'm normally very careful not to expose myself too much to the Indian sunshine - long loose cotton clothes that cover me well, and a hat with a bit of a brim (no sun cream, though, never).

On this occasion, I'd pulled up my trouser legs to keep them out of the water while paddling across a couple of streams on route from one village to another, and neglected to pull them down again. This is the result of about forty minutes of Indian early morning sunshine.

I thought it was going to be painful - I have had sunburn a few times, and it can be pretty bad - but fortunately I just about got away with it on this occasion, not even slightly itchy. Just a thin layer peeled off a few days later.

I was lucky - it didn't hurt at all. Another ten minutes or so and I'd probably have had a very bad night or two, and sore legs for ages. But as it was, no trouble at all :)

So this is what "turned beet red" refers to!
:iconcoshipi:
More or less :) It's also why Englishmen in India were called "Blighties" - tomatoes.

Hmm. I don't think I like the direction this conversation is taking...

I'm too old and tough to be very appetizing, I think :)
