last year and i became a willing of course carer but he never recovered his strength and after a gradual deterioration he died at home with me beside him on 26th april then of course there was covid affecting us all and we were in the middle of a house move i m now in a small but very nice victorian cottage in surrey much nearer my kids who are all within 40 mins drive which is much better i ve done no writing for at least a year but who knows i need to get my mojo back first if any of my former followers have news i d love to know how you are how you re coping with the current plague etc comments very welcome posted by frances garrood at 20 21 18 comments friday 3 may 2019 of clothes moths this is was my son s coat i have posted before about clothes moths and their greedy habit of taking a bite from each garment and never making as it were a clean plate by finishing anything off well these are doing their best with this coat which has now been binned the moths have also taken bites out of most of his wardrobe and he is despairing as to what to do he says he s tried everything i feel great sympathy for him but can t help being fascinated as our clothes moths conduct their business when we aren t looking i have never seen their larvae only the holes they leave behind that s all posted by frances garrood at 16 56 23 comments labels clothes moths saturday 27 april 2019
