Thank you, Sherri. I can never resist a bit of background research. Lots of nursery rhymes have very interesting origins, although not always pleasant i.e. Ring a ring a Roses, which heralds from the time of the Plague.
excellent picture. I love spiders, they seem to me to be the most amazing creatures. So really? we don’t know who Miss Muffet was but how silly to run from a spider! even one who prays.
I had the lengthy search of Miss Muffet videos on YouTube but that one was by far the cutest.
The spider web was in someone else’s front garden, Sylvia. I always have my camera on me when out walking the dog, and it’s only time before someone tells me off for photographing their gardens without permission!
Thanks, Cybele. I’m being terribly neglectful of everyone this week, and will be visiting you soon for a catch-up. I’ve actually been doing some writing, which is good, as I was very lazy about penning anything new during the summer. Too nice outside to be stuck at my computer.
Love it!!

I’ve known full-grown men of six-foot plus, running from spiders; even standing on chairs and directing me to remove the creatures outside!
