A cold spider

As I was going to enter our front door, after a busy morning shopping in Gloucester, I was surprised to see this long-legged spider. I thought it might have disappeared before I returned with a camera but it seemed to be settled.

It had six of its legs firmly planted to keep it still in the strong wind, but its two other legs were being bashed about in the air and you can see they are very blurred. I don't know what type it is.  We get a lot of unusual spiders drifting in from the fields and woodlands behind the house. Its main body was only about one centimetre long.
