I never saw her again.
Nowt as strange as folks eh?

At the end of the season, I catch the spiders and take them outdoors, and sweep away the webs. Most people think it's strange until they really think about it - no sprays, no chemicals, and no mosquitos.

That said, I am not so sure I would actually go out and catch any. Besides, why collect arachnids when there are so many good looking men around? .
True Surferbabe, I have seen many strange things in Boscombe, people picking up the cigarette butts, to make rollups, even tramps going through the bins, but collecting spiders!!!!!

Re: How bizarre!

...or maybe she was collecting them for a family meal...EVERYONE gets a leg!

[though I agree...most likely for a reptile or amphibian pet]
