Its beautiful weather here, from what i can see out of the window on the sofa.
Yesterday we had little white balls bouncing. I went out to collect some and stuff down best mates back!
They melted by the time i'd got back in!

It's been sunny here all day, but we have been promised heavy rains. They'll probably start up just in time for going home from work (as usual).

Oooh yeah. When it goes really dark in the middle of the day and there's forked lightning and really loud thunder and heavy rain.
Oops! Sorry. Getting a bit carried away there :D

it's been a bit barmy here to. Not a day seems to go by without at least one shower of hail or snow.
Last weekend my chickens saw their first proper fall off snow, and they didn't like it one little bit! I had to pick them up one at a time and carry them to the run so the didn't have to walk on it!!!
Nice and sunny here today, but just had a really heavy downpore.

I was at my mums yesterday and we had very strange weather - bright sunshine, really fat rain, hailstones and even at one stage a flurry of snow!! I helped mum bring in the washing from the garden during a nasty hailstorm and we both came back in with red marks on our faces from the hailstones - ouch!! Good job we both wear glasses!!

And then you remembered that the local golf course had applied for planning permission to take over your garden as hole 17...

I was staying with my sister in Dorset when the heavens opened. The hail came down really fast and left it's white frozen baubles on the roof of my car and yet 20mins later the sun was shining and the roads were drying out. Weird :confused:

Aw bless their little chicken feet! :)
It's been freaky weather past few days here too, maybe the weatherman's gone barmy and thrown all his labels on the map at once and left it unattended
