Same here. I remember one year, I had a wasps' nest which had its
front door opening into my conservatory, which I used as a utility
room. The air in there was always thick with wasps but despite
regularly going back and forth through the throng, whenever I was
doing any laundry, I was never stung.

Hello, stranger! You don't often venture into this neck of the woods (at
