A typical British summer is well under way, it is either deceptively hot or very wet with a lot of humidity thrown in just to make sure the heat is not actually enjoyable. Insects are abound, the annual rise of the flying ants is under way around here, a particularly unpleasant experience if you happen to get caught in it...
The nice weather has not been sustained enough for planning a barbecue, and the Citronella spray doesn't seem to have any effects on the wasps (other than they gather around the dispenser to get a better sniff of it...). For my part, I have found the perfect antidote for inquisitive insects as I have found that they are not at all partial to cigar smoke. My tip for the summer is to take a pack of Black and Mild into the garden with you if you want to be left well alone.
I also recommend a good book and a glass of something red and not-so mild just to round things off nicely. [None of the above recommendations apply to you if you are child, asthmatic, alcoholic or a professional athlete... or any combination...]
