The Masked Destroyer

It's not often you meet someone dressed like that in your front hall (better known in this house as Otto's room). We have been afflicted with a wasp nest near our bathroom window, it's actually in the roof but we can't get to it that way. The wasps get in through a small hole near the overflow pipe and their numbers had been increasing much more quickly than I can cope with (I'm allergic to stings and get a bit panicky when they're about}. I had thought that the best plan of action was to "get a man in", but Dick's idea was to buy a tub of wasp killer and do it himself. I was a bit sceptical. Anyway, Dick decided that Tuesday evening was the best time to tackle the invaders, just as it was getting dark. He wore whatever protective gear was about - gauntlets, Barbour jacket, straw hat(?), and my lightweight summery print scarf which is fairly see-through. The ladder was already in position, and he strode out - saying "just stand on the bottom rung". I was wearing normal summer clothing, thanks Dick. He got up there and liberally squirted the powder in, amazingly it seems to have worked, hardly any wasps about now. 
​As always there is new stock on the website - book marks, necklaces etc, so please have a look. I'm hoping to gradually improve the site and am getting help with optimisation to get it more widely seen, and have also embarked on an on-line IT course so that I have a better understanding of what's happening in the background. Not bad for a bumpkin!
