40 calls for journalism/writing pitches (September 5, 2023)
A month into our UK return/relocation and one thing that struck me: where are all the bugs? Sitting outside on a summer evening in a garden beneath a sunset without being attacked by hordes of mosquitoes (as would happen in Hong Kong) is a blessing, of course. But there are few wasps, flies or anything else that when I was here 25 years ago would be regular guests to the picnic rug. When travelling along the motorway years ago, we would often have to stop to wipe splattered bugs from the windscreen and headlights. Last week we drove nearly five hours in total to and back from London with barely a single buggy fatality.
This week’s calls for pitches below.
