Day One Hundred and Fifty Nine - Wasp Removal

Dear all,

Today I scaled the heights of the Inn in order to seek out and destroy a nest of rogue wasps. Although uncertain as to when the nest had been established, it was now sending out a constant stream of temperamental and malicious flying insects. Bad for the Inn.
It was rather treacherous up their on the roof but was worth it for the magnificent view of the Pretty River Valley. I managed to straddle the roof edge and shift across to the nest where I sprayed it immediately with a useful 'wasp-destroying' foam. Chris was very concerned at this point as the on site cameraman as he could see me shuffling across the roof followed by an increasing cloud of angry wasps. Here is a brief video of the assault.
I managed to get away in one piece and free from any violent altercations with the now deceased insects.
My thanks go to the 'wasp and hornet' killer spray, without which I think I may have had significant problems. Now the inn roof is clear and wasp free!

And in other news:
1. I have been harvesting my sunflowers. Having past their sell by date and each one now resembling a used kitchen mop, I chopped their heads off and scrapped out the seeds which I will now dry and store for winter.
