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 |

"Draven" wrote in message . uk... It's just happened. On the way home from Scotland to Yorkshire last night we saw the most stunning lightning displays, horizontal forking in various colours. 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. |

It's an experience not to be missed! Alan -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

Mary -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK Here in North Staffordshire it rain very heavily. Not unexpected I spent the early morning watering all tubs, pots and newly planted trees. Never mind the water butts have been replenished. |
