We needed to go out in the van today. The side door was opened, children piled in, and I walked around the back of the car to get in the driver's seat. It was then that I saw the massively huge orb spider suspended on its massively huge web between the hedge and my door. It was about a metre away, so I slid into my seat, put the window up, and began backing out the drive.
Do you realise how far orb spider webs can stretch?? A long way, let me tell you. Then, we could see the anchors pinging off their moorings one by one. But not from the car - from the hedge. Suddenly, snap! The whole web, spider and all, flung up on my window!
Jack jumps up like a true hero, grabs a twig and sweeps the dangling spider off the car and into the garden.
Ugh, shudder.
