Hi,
Has anyone else seen loads of greenfly today? - there seemed to be a big cloud of them come over us today - they were everywhere, they seemed to be biting people too! - I thought it was just us but my mum and partner said the same and they're about 10mile apart

    We had a load in West Yorkshire today, they nearly drove us nuts when I walked my son home from school. Had to have an ice lolly to get over it :)

    Kate - I've just noticed you're in Huddersfield, we're not too far away so that'll be the reason then :)

    Loads of bugs kept hitting me in the face when I was out before, I didn't look what they were though. Maybe it was these, I don't usually get so many bugs flying at me!
