is this a mesh web?

Been trying to ID this spider we first saw tonight on the guttering. It stood out as a brilliant green against the black. Went out to get some photos and it had moved to the washing line.

It is bright green though it's head seemed to be paler even perhaps yellow. As you can see it's not very big. This was the best I could do for the photos, there are three altogether in the images section. Much better image if you enlarge it!

I live in the North West and haven't seen anything like this before!

Thanks in anticipation of your help - very curious just to know what it is and if it should be here!!

Have a google on Araniella cucurbitina.
