Scotland on Sunday carried a story of how service personnel in the West of Scotland are buying up huge quantities of an Avon spray on moisturising cream because it has been discovered to keep the midgies away. Now either this is a clever piece of publicity or it really works. It could be both of course in that Avon claim that current insecticide regulations prevent them from marketing their product as a midge repellant.
Anyway, like many another this morning I have gone online and ordered some!
