Thanks to Dominic, we have had a [http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/ Mosquito Magnet] shipped from the US and with high hopes that it will alleviate the midge problem. The necessary US -> UK adapters for electricity and propane have yet to be acquired but we hope to have this gadget in operation before the end of May 2013.

Thanks to Dominic, we have had a Mosquito Magnet shipped from the US and with high hopes that it will alleviate the midge problem. The necessary US -> UK adapters for electricity and propane were acquired and the gadget was in operation for a few days and caught thousands of midges. We have not been at Bryn Teg for a long enough stay to get it going properly, but it has already made a significant difference to the midge problem.

We have dispensed with the resident computer; please let us know if this will cause you a problem. The wifi is fine so if you want the internet bring your own wireless-enabled laptop or hand held &c.

The now not-so-new barbecue is being well used
