i fall between two camps here - i sympathise with everyone who hates spiders - we all have our phobias.
but quite like having 'em around the house - eating up all the yuckies - y'know flies and stuff. we don't have dangerous spiders over here.
but come autumn the GREAT BIG HAIRY ONES try and get in for the warmth - so i spend ages taking them all outside and finding them somewhere near a good food supply.

tip for spider haters - to get them outside:-

1. place a glass tumbler over the spider.
2. slide a thinnish sheet of card under the tumbler.
3. pick up the whole caboodle - take outside and release spider.

hope this helps you all.

i'm with karen on spider webs - is there anything more beautiful in the early morning?

i noticed a particularly gorgeous one this morning from one of my hanging baskets - and i've found the occupant - hiding amongst the geraniums!!

must admit walking into a web in the dark is a horrible - so sticky!!
