found the wasps
Going back to a reasonably recent thread on the lack of wasps this summer.
I found them. I discovered where they've been lurking all summer long.
Wasps... bloody wasps... had no problem all summer and then on Saturday I
discovered where the entire wasp population of the UK has been lurking all
summer. Earsham, just outside of Bungay. The offspring was doing a time
trial on Saturday, same venue as previous week. The previous week I'd
collected a load of blackberries and made a delicious blackberry crumble
that evening. So this week I thought I'd collect some more whislt the
offspring was out cycling reasonably rapidly. I didn't get more than half a
dozen though... over a good hundred yards of hedgerow - where the previous
week I'd picked fruit unhindered, were clouds of wasps. They weren't going
for the fruit - they were just flying about the hedgerow - *thousands* of
the nasty things.
BAH!
Come on you weather experts - summon up a good frost to kill them all off
please!
