The midges in Scotland are nasty little things.Mainly in the highlands and always on nice calm days. I recommend a net and some Avon Skin so Soft - been using it for years.
If you want to be extra cautious then get some Smidge.

Read the article mostly in sadness as we are selling this property with 12 well established varieties of apple tree. Noticed it argued for a tennis ball sized apple - limits the varieties I know of somewhat.
I live on reclaimed marshland - reclaimed in the 1600s - and we get loads of gnats - great tumbling clouds of them on still evenings. They don't seem to like me any more (since low carbing) but they do target Mr C. We can sit next to each other and they'll feast on him and won't touch me at all. Mr C uses Skin So Soft as its the only thing that seems to work reliably.
About food.... do you all plan your daily menus in advance or wing it? I plan breakfast and dinner but lunch is pretty much what I feel like its the time (if anything)
Today....
Breakfast: Egg mayo on checkerboard
Lunch: celery dipped in houmous or cream cheese
Dinner: Today duck legs and spicy red cabbage
Dessert: the last of the spiced rhubarb with last of the Turkish yoghurt and some flaked almonds on the top
Drinks: BDC, SSW
What I tend to do now is pick an apple that looks just how I like them, take a few bites and give the rest to the chickens. Suffolk is our destination and space for chickens is a factor in choice of property - eggs seem to be central to many LC diets.Half an apple would work too.
It’s sad leaving somewhere you’re happy, especially if you have roots there. I’ve moved around my whole adult life - roots would be good. Though actually they’re originally in Suffolk!)

@Chook as you know this woe baffles me somewhat so my menu planning or no may not be helpful. I use fbg, weight, the day's schedule and how well the previous day stayed in as a guide. Tend to run things through chronometer these days for carbs and nutrients. Result? useless but it keeps me off the streets.
I am already much more in the countryside here in Cambridgeshire. Better class of yokel dontcha knowYou’ll be joining all the rich and famous who are moving to the countryside in Suffolk.)
