Maybe old wives used to hang about under lit windows after dark too! Just think, if I'd ever heard that tale I would have felt just like your SiL and been too paranoid to sit there, thus missing out on ever having handled a bat. I confess I knew at the time I should have been phoning a bat person, but was in no position to go off ransacking the house for the cordless phone.
Saw a dragonfly earlier in my front garden. It kept returning to my yew hedge and kind of bumping into it over and over. Wonder wot it was up to? Could it have been munching on some critter that may live in the foliage? Or are dragonflies just known as the thickies of the insect world? Again, strange but interesting!
