Olympic legacy

Any gardeners who had the pleasure of visiting the paralympics would have noticed all the lovely seed heads in the olympic park. Needless to say, me and dad weren't the only ones taking a slice of Olympic legacy. Wink wink.

spot the spider

I think this is a baby Crab Spider. They're bright lime green and hang with their front 4 legs held out like wings. Wicked!
