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.
