Good morning all, Gulliver here! 

Sorry, I’ve been so quiet but Taleweaver and I were busy planting yesterday. We planted potatoes and more peas while her son planted onions, and then I got to supervise the watering! (I told Eldest Son where to water, and he carried the big watering can around for me!) 

Anyway, last night we were all sitting around scratching our mosquito and blackfly bites and Taleweaver told me there was a song about them! She played it for me and I’m going to share it with you here! 

Feel free to play it more than once. It’s a catchy tune, but I can tell you the song doesn’t exaggerate about those blackflies…too much.

Taleweaver covered me all over in something called ‘After Bite’ and all the itchies went away. She looks a little polka-dotted though…
