I haven't checked the curtain linings yet, but I expect to find more there. This is becoming an annual event and is the third consecutive year it's happened.  |
Exactly the same deal for me down in kent. Im normally swamped with them for most of the year but this year they have been strangely few and absent..and none indoors at all? however.....yesterday 27th with that bit of sunshine they have all appeared again and were making a beeling for any open window or door to get in the house....here we go again
