Continuing the hornets saga. Our Mairie (town hall) is situated in the park and I walk through the park every morning. This morning, returning home, I was very surprised to see blue flashing lights and a fire-fighter’s van coming into the grounds. The fire-fighters were greeted by our village policewoman who pointed to a huge hornet’s nest high up in one of the trees It was like a huge ball suspended from a branch. Now the leaves are almost gone from the trees it had come into view. At that point I met Robert, my elderly friend, so we watched them looking at it and he told me that someone had pointed out another nest to him in a tree in the middle of the village. Hopefully next year we will be rid of them.
When we were small, my two sisters were attacked by a swarm of bees one hot Sunday morning. The owner of the hive decided to move them (not a good idea on a hot day). Years later people were still giving us advice on what to do if you see a swarm coming. Lie face down on the ground, the swarm will fly over you. When they are swarming the angry bees stick to and sting whatever gets in their way.
An amusing review of ‘The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest’ film.

I was reading a book about some girl and hornets while on holiday but every time I put it down someone would take it away and start reading it themselves so the plot got mixed in with the plots of other books which I read when the hornet book was missing. I had no idea that was what the book was about!
I was on holiday and my brain was in neutral.

Coroline: I wonder if it was the same story.
