In A&E the nurse said that they had had a number of bites which were a lot worse than normal! Im wondering if we ended up with something in the UK that wasnt here before. Or if it was just a set of random coincidences. <br /><br />I hope they get better for you. xKnightMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174466702401368517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-21644955375076695062011-08-14T10:48:41.426+00:002011-08-14T10:48:41.426+00:00Now I am wishing hard that we have good courgette ...Now I am wishing hard that we have good courgette harvest next summer looking at your many delicious recipes.Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-49080215248122150422011-08-13T15:41:40.091+00:002011-08-13T15:41:40.091+00:00Hope your finger is better soon.

I always react really badly to them, and quite frankly would hate to inflict the sight of my legs on anyone right now, it would scare small children...<br /><br />We appear to be on day 3 of mizzle - enough to put you off going out and gardening but not enough to mean that you can rely on it to look after seedlings well. :-(<br /><br />Hope you get softened ground so that you can rescue the Sweet Williams soon...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-7524500376803424722011-08-12T19:06:05.909+00:002011-08-12T19:06:05.909+00:00Ours don't swell right up are just red and itc...Ours don't swell right up are just red and itchy but we both have dozens of them all over.

Even after the application of hydrocortisone cream I was still suffering several days later. I didn't see what bit me, but presumably it was a horse-fly or something similar.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
