and it did, on and off all yesterday. I’m not actually complaining since with that and showers we’ve had about 30mls of wet on the ground in the last 48 hours and we needed it. The hail did no damage – although the bombarded hens were annoyed – and, most conveniently the hail stopped for about ten minutes mid-afternoon, just long enough for my mailman to arrive, hand me the day’s newspaper and my mail, and drop off a sack of wheat for the hens without either of us being hailed on. That should counterbalance the hen protests, a month’s worth of their meals got through safely.
Hail!
