The conversation was getting pretty deep when an ear-splitting scream shattered the evening. Ani darted up from her rest, confused but barking on the general principle that anything that could cause that sound from one of her boys needed attacking. Then there was silence at the other end of the phone.

No. I recognise that particular tone of scream.
“I’ll give you three guesses…” He was breathless, audibly shaken. I got it in one.
“Spider.” It wasn’t a question. Although the arachnophobia of his childhood has abated to manageable proportions…I had indeed been forbidden to take down Ian the hall-spider’s webs last year for a while… there is only one thing that causes that reaction from either and both of my sons. “Big, was it?”
