They're out in small clouds here, Val but I haven't been bitten. You must
be particularly tasty! I think the only answer is a repellent that you
know works well for you. I never wear perfume when I'm working in the
garden, partly because I don't want to attract bees (I wear floral or
citrus-y scents) and also because of its reaction with the skin in sunlight.
I don't know if you wear a perfume but if so, wonder if it might be better
not to!

I do wear perfume but also anti persperants and shower gels might
also be
an attraction


They don't seem to have reached us here in Dorset. I have never been
bothered by them, nor by the mozzies that gather round the pond. I
often smell of horses and goats, and always of dogs, perhaps that is why.

T.M.I. I've just gorn orf you!
