• Did anyone else cycle through a biblical plague of midges* yesterday evening?

  • no but I rode my gravel bike along the Thames towpath from Richmond bridge via Teddington lock to Kingston bridge on Wednesday evening after the midsummer sun had set and my word, there were literally millions of midges in huge clouds. I had a long shower when I got home but even after that I was still picking dead flies out of my eyes.

  • Was out around Hackney Marshes on saturday and was in a constant cloud, arms were covered in flies sticking to suncream. Was lovely.
