Just been reading about more heavy rain and flash floods:

Hope everyone is OK, and your gardens too.

I was out in my car today when hailstorms started, first marble sized
but
then golfballs and torrential rain started. I pulled into the side of
the
road. I felt sure my windscreen or the other windows would be shattered
as
they hit the car at huge force and some of the hailstones that my
neighbour
captured on his phone camera are 3 inches across.
Lots of flooding, I expect most things in my allotment will have been
wiped
out.

My car is dented on the bonnet and roof.

They mentioned those hailstones on the weather forecast. I thought he
was joking! Nasty.


It sounds truly horrible. We actually had sun here today for much of the
day, then threatening grey cloud, then sun again. We went out to supper
tonight and driving home could see quite a misty covering to Dartmoor.

We went for a picnic on Danebury Hillfort (out Stockbridge way) where you
can see for miles across Hampshire and beyond and whilst the weather was
pleasant enough to sit there, even sunny, the view was very misty.
