What the hail?

Here’s some pictures to convey how bad the weather was yesterday around 5pm in London town. It started as a downpour, then heavier rain and then mad hail! To say it was chucking it down was an understatement. A fast flowing stream appearing under the back gate from the drive and then the hail built up at the start of the lawn and it’s still there now.

Watch those seedlings. We may not be having frosty nights but heavy rain and hail can be a pain. One good thing with all of this rain is that the pond is filling up. That makes a change!

Three for Thursday

weather rain november

This Saturday morning I was hoping to tidy up the fast decaying and untidy mess that is the back garden and give the grass one final cut. Don’t look like I will be, looking at the above!

Here’s three Yabby You (R.I.P.) tracks to stick on at the weekend (loud) while enjoying a hot toddy that’ll take your mind off the rubbish weather (unless the met office is wrong!)

Burn down the walls

It’s the nearest Saturday to Guy Fawkes night (aka “get rid of your garden rubbish in one big bonfire and the neighbours can’t complain” night) and the big pile of clippings which have been taking up space at the bottom of the garden were planned to go up in smoke tonight. Even a cheap pack of Fireworks had been purchased from Lidl to add to the effect too. It’s now mid-afternoon and it’s chucking it down, typical! Now the sun’s come out…
