The warm weather by the water, brings bugs and bites. 

We didn’t find the reliever we wanted in Kidderminster and tried something else and Shane found it wasn’t helping.

We went for a lovely trip up the Stourbridge arm and it was beautiful. Clear water, lots of fish visible, loads of water lilies and moorhen chicks with their unfeasibly large feet walking on the lily pads. 

Searched several shops to find gaps in the shelves where the bite and sting products should be, but found what we wanted, at last. What a relief!

Meanwhile our washing was drying….a red load. Looked like we had some emergency flags flying!

A cat keeps trying to get into the boat today. If it succeeds, I’ll need more anti histamine.
