The spiders needing moving before I mowed the lawn yesterday as
they've made webs all round the bushes and hedges. Some of the web
felt really tough to break though!
Either that or I was feeling particularly weak yesterday. Some pretty
big spiders too. (Orb ones I think with huge backsides!)

They'd also reclaimed across the front path (just a couple of threads)
within an hour of my son going through it this morning. Should I be
worried about how many we have round here yet?


I don't know what makes them but we have some box which is like a
jewellery box every morning. It's decorated with masses of 'diamond'
necklaces made of cobwebs sparkling with dew. They're not very big and
each is like a sort of little hammock. I must try to remember to take
a photo tomorrow morning because they're just so beautiful - as long as
I don't have to meet the inhabitants!



That would be lovely to see!
