French bean plant leaves with issues

Hello

We have a variety of things happening to the leaves on our climbing French bean plants. It is happening on the climbing French yellow, purple and green beans: (1) they are wilting, drooping and going thin and floppy (2) they are looking puckered, like they have been ruched (3) they have dry light brown patches on them (4) they are going dry and brittle at the edges. Are all these symptoms connected or all different stages of the same problem?

So far we have found a few light brown tiny spidery creatures on the underside of the leaves, some ants and some aphids — all which we squirt off with the hose pipe.

What is going on and what can we do about it?

Thank you!

    Well you are doing better than we are!
    This year has been so out of the normal that we have had so many plants not doing what they normally should do.
    We grow dwarf beans and had to sow seeds indoors and then plant out.....but April being so bad they are still only just starting to produce flowers and it is now June.
