A friend rang during the week to invite Marilyn and me to have a barbecue on Sunday. They live in Deloraine but were happy for us to pick a spot closer to Longford to save us the long drive to their area. The only place in Longford that we know of is always busy so we suggested the riverbank at Hadspen, where there are a couple of barbecues and plenty of tables. There were 7 of us all together, the sun was shining and it was great.
Except, we were inundated by wasps. As soon as the food appeared, especially the meat, the wasps descended. We suspect they were nesting in the wattle trees and chose that spot because they could be sure of a feed whenever anybody arrived for a picnic.
Archie, of course, was with us and was his usual friendly self., sharing his favours with all and sundry. He was exhausted when we finally arrived home
