OK get the Vax drain off water open up pump filter thing, Here you go,1 hair grip, one long screw,(oops thats mine) and a 20 something coin from Russia and a cocktail stick. washer sorted. cleans up and sits at pc open up the forum when Mrs FW taps on back window. I look up, What yer bust now so out I go into the back garden when she's stood at one of the plants and there is a cluster of little spidery things, I've never seen anything like this before so here's a picture. any offers as to what they are just as long as they arn't terantulas I'm ok and so's Mrs FW for that matter

Mrs FW says Thankyou very much

Ickle baby spiders. Awwwwww

It's all Charlotte's Web in your back garden!

Yes, baby spiders.

If you tap the web, they all run away and then come back again! Such fun you can have!

A bit bigger than spiders, but we had a deer just lying down in the garden by our gazeebo a couple of months ago. He/she just sat there looking at me whilst I took the photograph.
Click a couple of times to see up close.

Tarantulas live in holes in the ground. When I was in the Ecuador jungle at night our guide poked a stick into the hole and a 6" diameter tarantula rushed out. I think it was a fix and reckon it was actually on 40 quid a week.

Probably the good old European Garden Spider:

You catch it then!

Iv'e got this reptile living just behind my fence in the adjacent field. We have not seen any tadpoles in our pond for a month now. Is this the culprit? I reckon it's about a metre in length.

We had a rat up the hawthorn bush at the bottom of our garden this afternoon, trying to work out if it could get into a nesting box. (It couldn't.)

Funny how deer are wild animals and cannot be controlled and belong to nobody while they are munching my vegatables.Shoot the b------ (which I cannot now do now due to houses sprouting up all round me) and an owner springs up out of the undergrowth demanding compensation for loss of income and anything else they think they can get off with. Two fingers raised in an appropriate manner and being known as an awkward b. but on some useful committees has so far won the day.Nature is ok so long as it is kept in its place, ie out of my garden.
