We bought a load home from your end of Poynton (Elm Beds) this weekend on the van. Got home to find we had plenty of our own.

When is that nightmare traffic due to end?

We were asking the same question last Friday. One of our windows was covered in Ladybirds. Not sure they should be around at the end of October, it must be the mild weather we are having was our thinking? Confused Wink

We were at Saint Jean-de-Monts, on the Atlantic coast of France, in July and I'd never seen so many ladybirds in my life.

Quite literally they were everywhere. As we walked along the sea front they were all over our clothes and exposed body. They clustered together, hundreds at a time, on the stone sea wall and we were constantly being hit as they flew around.

Further along the coast at Arzon there were thousand upon thousand crawling all over the wooden posts that were alongside paths and keeping our mouths closed as we walked was essential.

We've not noticed many since we came back but they were certainly a problem whilst we holidayed in France.

Just come back from a week away, firstly at Moreton In Marsh where we didn't see any, and then onto a CS in Essex where there were absolutely loads of them. When I took the silver screens off just before we left, there were about 40-50 all in and around the passengers door jam. Surprised How they got there god only knows.

I trust you went to the Boars Head Trev Smile Excellent Cheese and Onion Pie in there...

We stopped at Elm Beds anout three weeks ago (yes it is only less than 2 miles from our house but we felt like it Smile)

Traffic ceases in four weeks time to help Christmas and tehn recommences in the new year Smile It'll be worth it in the end Smile

We have a static caravan on the Suffolk coast and during August we were inundated with ladybirds. When we were there during October there were still a few about mainly trying to find a sheltered spot to hibernate. Back here in the Cotswolds there seems to only have been the average amount of ladybirds.
