We found a giant fly in the lounge so I caught it and fed it to the spider in the greenhouse. He must have been hungry cos he came out like a bullet from a gun to grab it. I dont' like using fly spray.

It is Dottie. I love spiders. They do a good job. Trouble is in the greenhouse Gerry goes out there first thing in the morning and gets covered in spiders webs.
