So much for the good weather!

A good old thunder storm is needed once in a while isn't it?  It freshens things up again, gives us chance to breathe and it waters the gardens for us! 

We finally got our break in the sun today. The sky went grey, thunder started to rumble and the rain started to bounce.

At first I thought little of it. Then someone tweeted that it was hailing. Then it started hailing here too.

Of course, hail is nothing new, but it's April and about 22C out there. It only lasted for about half an hour - then sunshine resumed.

Here are some pics, and a video, which looked way better on the camera.
