Enormous 'hand-sized' spider was the 'final straw' in closure of bridal shop for good

The owner of a bridal boutique says finding an enormous spider lurking in her window display was the 'final straw' in deciding to close the shop for good. Belinda Blanshard was changing the front window display when she discovered the 'hand-sized' beast before she fled to the street.
The 47-year-old had arrived for a normal day of work on Friday August 26 at Love Lace Bridal Boutique on Bramhall Lane, Davenport, before being too 'frightened' by the creepy crawly to carry on. The mum-of-four enlisted the help of a confused stranger on the street to evict the uninvited guest via a glass into some nearby bushes.
Belinda says the encounter has given her sleepless nights and she now shakes down each dress before any appointment she has. She also says it was the 'final straw' in deciding the close the store permanently.

"Whoever gets the shop after us can deal with all the monsters down in the cellar. I have no idea what type of spider it was. I've been told it looks like a giant house spider, I can't even bear to look at the pictures so I don't know myself.
"I've been keeping one eye open in the shop ever since. I've not slept since, I'm not joking. I just keep thinking 'if they're in the shop, they're going to be everywhere'.
"I don't even like going down to the cellar in the shop, now I'm aware that there are spiders down there. It's making my skin

I tried the £25 Sunday roast with enormous Yorkshire puddings and it’s one of the best in Manchester
It might seem premature to be discussing roast dinners given that we haven’t quite made the transition to autumn yet, but Manchester’s latest addition is worth being hasty about. While this Sunday pastime might conjure up an image of a country pub with a roaring fire and a nice glass of red, this new spot is eschewing tradition in a big way.
