About midges

Everyone has warned me about the midges. But despite the little critters being really annoying* I seem to have escaped without being bitten to shreds. The landlady at the Cask Inn claimed this is because they don't start to bite until June - I really hope this is true because we'll have made to England and any from the worst midge areas by then.

I have still got bitten. Along with the midges there were some fearsome mosquitos and a few of those have got me good.

* when I first wrote this it was hard to tell it was me who was annoying, or the midges. You decide for yourself :)
