As the weather here in the UK has been SO hot - it's obviously best to either keep food in the fridge, or if it's out in the kitchen, - keep it covered with a tea towel. There are just lots of flies around at the moment, and they seem to zoom in at the slightest whiff of 'food'! Even grease on a paper kitchen sheet seems to attract them :o(
I found a super article online about herbs that you probably have growing in your garden, and these (hopefully) will deter flies if you strew some around on your work surface, or hang them up in a bunch in the kitchen.
Useful herbs include:
Basil
Lavender
Rosemary
Mint, Catnip
Tansy - this resembles marigold flowers
Bay leaves
