Hail

Back home after Breakfast at Haskins the Gorse Fox set about cleaning the oven. Fortunately, as the oven is self-cleaning, this was fairly easy. The only fiddly bit is cleaning the racks. It all needed doing. The last thing we wanted was the smell to get worse next time we used the oven.

During the afternoon we were hit by a hail storm. Hailstones the size of ball-bearings hammered down. It was clear that we would soon be trapped and would have to await the emergency airlift. The Gorse Fox went and checked the freezer to see how long we could survive, based on our stores. We'll probably be all right for about two weeks.

At the height of the storm, when the hail was at its deepest, the Gorse Fox took some photos - in case they were needed for insurance purposes or of the TV news. You can clearly see the extremes of weather that we have to survive hear on the South Coast.
