anyone know what this spider is

???

Hope it's a big table best - I'm with you on the table!

I've recounted before about the time we were on holiday in Scotland when DD2 (at home in Leicestershire) rang our hotel. The receptionist handed me the phone with a very worried look saying 'she sounds very upset'

She was very upset as there was a 'crunchy' spider on the landing, stopping her coming out of her bedroom. She had stuffed the gap under the door but wanted us to come home and save her.

Eventually, DD1's husband came round, captured the beast and released it on the high street!

Could it be either of these? I think the body shape of the Florentina is the better match.

Besstwishes you can get down now, it's scuttled off.
The lumpy bit might be its prey, wasn't going to touch it to investigate further.

It looks like a lace web spider to me. I'm no expert though. Have a Google of some pictures to compare. Good luck. Fascinating creatures, spiders.
