Eeeek!

I am in the process of removing ivy from the path by our house. It is one of the few 'safe' outdoor areas to work in, and the ivy needs to go at some point, and the weather was lovely today so I got stuck in..


Only after I had stripped the trunk of this tree did I notice this:


Holy crap! That is one massive spider. He sat there for over an hour.


I'm not so keen to continue with the ivy clearing now.
