Yesterday Was Flying Ant Day

So it was. The day of the year when loads of ants sprout wings and fly off to build a new colony. Or at least I think that’s how it works. The point is, it always seems to happen all at once on a single day of the year in the summer, usually on a hot sunny day. This year it was definitely yesterday, in Hackney anyway…
