A STOCKBRIDGE woman found some surprise guests in her shed last week - hundreds of wasps which had built a huge nest.
Carol Thursfield, who lives on the High Street, discovered the football-sized nest on Friday.
She said: "I don't usually go into the shed as it's a bit of a walk from the house, but I was only in there the day before. It's as if it's appeared from nowhere and it's huge."
But Mrs Thursfield added: "I wasn't in the least bit scared. I was stung many times as a child.
"But the nest was surprising.
"I wouldn't mind the company if I could be sure they stayed where they are."
However Mrs Thursfield decided to have the nest removed - which it was on Friday afternoon.
