Literally between every bush and shrub, and anything which has a less that one metre distance to anything else now has a web with a fat little brown spider at the centre of it.
I've tried to take pictures but they come out blurry. And I can't stand to look at google images! They are like mini versions of what would be terrifying spiders if they were large size iyswim? I'm on the south coast if that helps, and our garden is next to a small wood.
If anyone has an idea of what they are, the main thing I'd like to know is if they are harmless. I'm fine with live and let live as long as they won't bite me or invade my house! Even though there are at least 20 visible ones in my small garden...
