Is it Illegal to Sunbathe Naked ?
Your starter for 5 !
Is it legal to sunbathe in your garden with no clothes on ?
Regulars may well remember me participating, albeit briefly, in Naked Gardening Day well . . . today it was naked sunbathing 
I shall now pause a short while to allow that thought to pass from your mind . . . gone yet ? . . . sorry if you were eating . . .
Okay, we’ll continue now.
If I walked down the street without any clothes on then it would be indecent exposure but what about if I am on private property ?
After all an Englishman’s home is his castle !
Thankfully, for the neighbours anyway, the rear aspect of the grounds at La Casa Goldeneye are well sheltered with trees and the like and the weather was glorious so in a spirit that has recently seen me getting ever more carefree and convinced that nobody has even the remotest authority over what I say or do I shed my clothes and basked in the sun !
There is a further shock, those who tune in regularly will know my stance on men wearing shorts (yes for partaking in sporting events and yes on the other side of the equator) well I have now invested in 2 pair ! (rest assured I’ll not be wearing them in public though)
For the last two days that is all I have worn - no shirt or top etc just shorts !
Now for the next bit, and you know what’s coming next, are they those long stupid things that are indiscernible as either long shorts or short trousers - not for me fella !
After much, ultimately hopeless, searching all round town on Wednesday - the inevitable happened - chick shorts ! to go with the chick jeans 
What size ? . . . whadya think Size 10 baby 
But the question still stands, could I get arrested for indecent exposure, is it actually illegal ?
I plan to be doing much the same tomorrow so if you don’t hear from me again you’ll know the police were called and I’m on record saying to them before “you’ll Never take Me Alive”
So this could be my last broadcast - hurrah shout the dishevelled and ungrateful rabble at the back
Naturistically Yours

(ps, you’ll note this is in the Hot Guys category, that actually refers to the temperature of my thighs at the moment - time for some after sun lotion I suspect

Rod, just a thought, do Humberside Police have a helicopter?

Dino,
they certainly do - they’ve used it to chase me before
We’ll see if it’s out today because it’s looking even nicer today !
Cheers

FF,

You wouldn’t think so but every month quite a few people search Google and Google Images for things like
“Rod Collins Naked” and other derivations on the theme - I also get emails asking for ‘pictures’
Generally though I suspect you are, and being a woman you’d have to be, right again
I may take to wearing a burkha instead
Regards
Rod

This reminded me of a newspaper article I once read about a lady who was acquitted by magistrates after her neighbour called the police because she was sunbathing naked in her garden. So, of course, I had to find the article http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2006/may/26/features11.g2 and if you read the end of the article, according to the solicitor quoted, as long as La Casa Goldeneye’s not directly overlooked then naked gardening/sunbathing/whatever should be fine!

Juli,
I’ve read the article and you’re right - I’m in the clear
I have a vision of a police raid and the neighbours gathering to see what it’s all about and the constable on guard saying
“Move along please - there’s nothing to see here”
It looks like this will be a regular thing now then Juli !
Enjoy the weekend
All the best

Our house is also blessed with a totally private patio area, I’m sure many housebuyers find it a hugely attractive feature. Vitamin D via sun on skin helps the transport of calcium to one’s bones, my doctor told me I needed more sun. As you lay there with a sock over your little acorn and shriveled prunes, the sweat dripping over your torso can form a seal around your back’s spinal channel airtight enough to generate a farting sound if you arch your back on bare concrete paving slabs. It’s extremely important to consider the possibility of being seen by the paper boy/girl, as they are not deemed to be tresspassers. Imagine what you would think/do/tell everyone if you were a teenager, they’re all armed with camera phones. An elderly lady neighbour saw me once, she was totally unfazed. She would have needed her best glasses and a microscope to see anything naughty anyway. Also, make use of the warm nights and rain by having a shower to save money.
