N. told us that Spiders are frightened of Acorns. I can't remember if the acorn is supposed to be poisonous to the spider, or if there was originally another reason. It has all become so entangled with various theories and silly stories that we cannot now unravel fact from fiction. Me an A. made up some great stories about how the spiders became enemies of the acorn..little knowing that they grow into Oak trees. Also myths of the Spider women..
Kept us amused on a rainy blustery walk on the beach at Penarth.
