One of the few things I am not frightened of is Spiders
so I got a call from Sile this morning to come upstairs
with a steps, a large glass and a piece of card to collect
one from the top of the wall (thus the steps).

She was a beauty, fully three inches across.
I captured her (I think her, I’m not good at sexing spiders)
with the card and glass and then released her on top of the
bin (where I took her picture) I then tried to persuade her to
pose on a sheet of white paper (for contrast) but she left .

Here she is in all her glory-just a little magnified.

Post Scriptum.

I have just discovered where she left for :- Liverpool.
Look for Liverpool Spider on You Tube and watch her progress !
