Keep Flies at Bay

As the weather gets nicer, we're wanting to sit in the garden more often but those pesky flies just won't stay away! A great tip is, half an hour before you wish to sit out, chop a lemon in half, stick some cloves in it and place on a plate or in a small bowl.

Apparently, they don't like the smell so will stay away!

I may have missed the boat season-wise for this one, but you never know, there may still be opportunities to eat and drink outside this year!  A great tip to stop flies and other insects from getting into your juice or precious cocktail is to use cupcake cases upside-down on top of the glass, and stick a straw through them.  Pretty and practical!
