    Late on parade as usual been dodging the showers all day, we were a bit smug earlier as we managed to time a walk in one of the few dry bright spells in the late morning. Less than 5 min after we got back there was a really heavy downpour, since then we have had hailstones several times as well as rain most of the afternoon. The only gardening today has been sowing another pot of radishes & pricking on some beefsteak tomato seedlings.Β

    I had nearly the same experience, had been busy in the garden, came in for a cuppa, looked up and it was pouring with rain. Lucky escape, I was at the top of the garden so would have got soaked.

    I've already drunk my wine and are now on coffee and looking forward to GW in a minute.

    Just seen a youngish robin on the terrace eat a rather large butterfly/moth? which was still alive. Rather gruesome in fact, quite put me off my dinner.

    I tried a new track today when I went for my walk. Lots of wild orchids which I haven't seen here before. The May (Hawthorn) was out for the 1st May.
