A spider in Melbourne

Len asked what we would be doing today. Nothing fixed on the calendar so I suggested Melbourne in Derbyshire. No, not Australia. There's a mansion, a large pool, lovely gardens and arts and crafts.

We arrived but had no idea of where to go, although I'm sure we passed the entrance at one point. Just too many people to avoid while trying to find parking.

The Assembly Rooms had disabled parking. We walked down the High Street, me on crutches, until we found the only tea shop in sight. Nice people and lovely food, but Basil wasn't allowed in the seating area so I had to clamber up some very steep steps to the garden.

Which is where I saw this spider.
