@YDraigGoch you should really post in What’s Outside topic. And if you know the Welsh name for them, even better. The discussion about wildlife and similar stuff is very alive on there so join us!

Now that’s more like it! Cute and fluffy is great! (I know some people think tarantulas are cute and fluffy … but some people are strange

Oh dear - I rather liked the spider - interesting blue colour on its front feet. Echreiddig = eccentric ! The spider or me…??

I thought it glows blueish. It appeared to me as it’d come from the space somewhere … 
(ah, imagination made its way immediatelly. Could write horrific story about this one. - hehe)

So sorry, Anne - I do realise I have just called you strange. It was intended ironically (as I know I’m the one who’s strange for having such an irrational fear).

No offense taken Sara. I fully appreciate such fears. For me it’s heights. My daughter has just moved into a 5th floor apartment in Geneva… that will b rd a real challenge for me.

Ps sorry for typo. Should have just been ‘be a real challenge’
@ramblingjohn should see your pics @YDraigGoch and please, please use @tatjana’s link to find “what’s outside” and post pics there!!!
p,s, What are the soft & cuddly chicks?
I know this is off topic, but my experience as a child with the sider knocking over my clock was preceded the night before by a dream about a hand on my pillow, which I realised afterwards may well have been the spider!! (I was very glad I didn’t wake fully and find it at the end of my nose!!)… but if it had bright blue glowing feet,!!! Horror!

I (for now) share happy story with (little tinny though) spiders. Me and my husband couldn’t have kids for quite long time (well at least 3 years of your marriage seamed long time to me) and then one day we found little spider climbing the bath in the bathroom. If we wouldn’t see it one of us whould wash it into the canal and it’d surely die. My husband saved it putting it out on the shelf. Very short time after that I’ve got pregnant and 9 months later (in somehow magical 1999) we’ve got a strong healthy boy. He’s teenager now, devoted to computers, gaming and quite a bit of science. He studies languages (more or less kind of SSi way just that he doesn’t take any (not even our) lessons but just picks up what he’s hearing) and he knows a little bit of languages of his interest (Janapese, English (oh, well, that one he learns at school too but is very frustrated when there’s asked from him to literally memorize something) etc …
Yah, prety offtopic my answer too, but since we’re at spiders at the moment … well that saved spider didn’t have blue glowish legs though.
And, yes, please @YDraigGoch, share your pics in that topic. @ramblingjohn would really be glad to see them. If you don’t know Cymraeg terms for those creatures, there’s surely someone who would find them for you. Welcome there in What’s Outside.

Croeso, Richard - I’m back from bootcamp and raring to go (OK, raring to go… back to bed if the truth be told…)
Great hearing about your progress, and you will be more than Welcome in the South West if you decide to base yourself here.
Mike Ellwood says that Llandysul is the best place in the world, so you wouldn’t go much wrong moving here (!), but best bet is to come ona bootcamp and scope the area out. When we fist moved here, I asked a local mother what it was like to bring up children in Llandysul. She told me that it was great - “central to everything” were her words (in Welsh of course), and whilst some people laugh at that (including me at the time) she’s absolutely right…
We even have a rain forest centre fairly close by…
