BRIGG HIT BY PLAGUE

We never thought we'd have to write a headline like this but Brigg has been hit by the plague...
A plague of thunderflies. These little black insects often appear en masse when there's no rumbling thunder or lighting. But on this occasion, they are spot on, in view of the weather experienced over the past few days.
Brigg folk opening  windows to let some much-needed air into their homes are finding windowsills lined with dead thunderflies.
There was quite a lightning show in Brigg during the early hours of today. Though most folk would have been in bed by then. Not exactly tucked up in bed, more likely they were on top of the covers!
