Im not the biggest fan of spiders. Sorry but they make me shiver 
But i saw this one when i was hanging out the washing and thought it was very pretty! So a name would be good for it.   |

Araneus diadematus - the Garden Spider. Sometimes referred to as the Cross Spider (but not in an angry way  )

They make new webs everyday, so you can always move it on (they eat the old one first, waste not, want now)

Yes i thought about moving it but that would require handling it and i dont think i am that brave. I just about managed to get my camera close enough for a picture! Sorry sounds daft and typical!
If its still there when i take washing in il think of a plan. Some paper and a glass might help! | | |
