Late Daffodil
The gardens of Bowerhill are reflecting the generally late spring seen throughout the country in 2013. In late March the daffodils are only just coming into flower having been delayed by the cold and wet weather.

Bashed/washed into submission
A cold wet spring has followed a cold wet winter which followed a cold wet summer. The ground is sodden and prone to easy flooding with any additional rain. Above ground this daffodil leaf, like many of the few plants which have made any attempt at coming into leaf, has been bashed beyond horizontal by yet another night of torrential rain.

False widow spider
This is a female false widow spider (Steatoda grossa). It is mildly poisonous and occasionally found in gardens in the area but unlikely to cause any great damage to most people. This one was far more interested in hiding from the photographer than in any form of attack.

2009 : Falcon Way, Bowerhill near Melksham
Most of the roads in Bowerhill were named after aircraft or those connected with them. An R.A.F. training base was opened here in 1940 and remained open until 1964. http://www.wellho.net/share/bowerhill.html

Waiting for dinner
In September and early October just about every likely area - and several unlikely ones - are covered in cobwebs at the centre of which, as here, are female cross or garden spiders (Araneus diadematus). Whilst the centre of the webs are mostly between 30cm and 50cm in size, I've come across single stand anchors more than two metres long.
Spiders of various sorts do seem to be unusually prolific in this area with Image indicative of an earlier stage in the lifecycle.
