It's not a spider - it's a slow worm.

Well obviously thats where I started.

Followed up with " why TF can't I post pics like I would normally " (answer: becasue it's too hot)

So have resigned myself to posting links to the pics

Deadly! They jump onto your face and bite your eyes out … don't they?

Having now returned to a decent broadband connection, just a note to say thanks for your research. Various other members of our party had convinced themselves it was something much more sinister.

I thought the spiders were quite cute..

Am sitting in the arbour, next to my pond, enjoying a beer when this little chap drops down right beside me. Luckily this isn't to scale, he's only about 1cm long.

Garden orb web spider. Very harmless unless you're a bluebottle.

It's just had two flies in the space of 5 minutes. It moves incredibly quickly when it detects something.
