In France the farmers believe spiders webs help keep germs away... I’d leave them too Vanessa, there are too many bugs around not take every precaution necessary - even if they are old farmers tales... and they do make a lovely photo!
I generally try to embrace them as fly traps but hadn’t heard the germ theory, they certainly look magical so I think it’s fair to imbue them with such properties. I do feel a bit better, but if only I could stop coughing and sleep I’d be a new woman!
We've heard the spiders/conkers advice - our two chestnut trees give us a mighty carpet of conkers so any use for them would be a help! If Susie says it's a French thing that's good enough for us!

I'm all up for leaving the spider webs insitu but will leave the conkers in my pocket next year!
Fair call!
I always consider the spiders' webs in the house natural art installations 😃 Hope you feel better soon!
A lovely reminder about the joys of creativity of all kinds 😊Sending you best wishes for the festive season and hope you feel better very soon
