A harmless orb weaver in the genus Araneus - could be an odd colour variant either of Araneus diadematus (common garden spider - see http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/orange-garden-spider-21215836.jpg) or A. quadratus - see http://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-15353-23736/450-277/Z4300032-Female_spider_Araneus_quadratus-SPL.jpg

Thanks for all that info!

I now know that the next week of school holidays will be spent looking at spiders and insects... :)
