On Thursday I went to Hever Castle – it’s a beautiful place and well worth a visit.
While strolling through the gardens I spotted an unusual (for the UK) spider’s web.

A quick search later and it looks like I stumbled across the home of a Labyrinth spider.

I might have to add a funnel web to the next Dragon Tongue book. I’m sure Rispin Quill would be delighted to meet one of these beauties.
That bit wasn’t mentioned on the Hever Castle website, obv.
