Isn't it funny how no one ever says, "we've just had hailstones the size
of lentils"s tha't because teh big ones are not round adn the small round ones are hailstone size so you'd be saying "we've just had hailstones the size of hailstones" :) -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |

The nice shiny roof had the texture an appearance of hammerite! pk |

It was horribly hot though, until we got home when it rained the sort of rain you don't get often but is very good at clearing and freshening the air. And making vegetables shoot up :-) Mary |

The nice shiny roof had the texture an appearance of hammerite! Back in the 1970s, my car needed a new bonnet and bootlid, and repairs to the roof, after a hailstorm. The cold frames in the garden were also smashed by the hailstones, which were much bigger than marbles - some of them seemed to be a couple of inches in diameter. |

Just the size for choking on when placed in the mouth and when on the ground a serious slip hazard. Our children once complained that they'd lost a marble in the garden. OIn day I was digging and found a marble. "I've found it!" I called. They were pleased. That was thirty odd years ago. Now, very frequently when I trowel (not dig) the garden I find a marble. I always call, "I've found it!" Spouse always knows what I mean. The children are long gone. The marbles are forming a l-o-n-g line along a windowsill. Where DO they all come from? And why don't grandchildren want them? Mary |

It's an experience not to be missed! But don't waste it! Place butts to collect it forom roofs, buckets and bins everywhere else. It does wonders for vegetables. And no doubt flowers but I don't care about those :-) Mary |
