Monday 18th March 2013 – Thunder and Lightning, very very frightening!

What was that all about? I was just about to go to the greenhouse and it suddenly started hailing, then there was a rather large rumble of thunder! Not wanting to be perturbed (rather large word for a Monday) I ran to the greenhouse, balancing seeds and my flask of tea. I made it in one piece and proceeded to sow some seeds when a large flash and another large, loud rumble happened. Having given the weather a few stern words it stopped and I was able to listen to my music, have a dance and sow the following flower seeds: Californian Poppy, Silene, Wildflower Honey Bee Flower mix, and a selection of grasses (which are from Johnsons, but they don’t seem to do them anymore). In to get a few more and then back out again. No more strange weather please.

  1. Just had the same here Claire, amazing hail storm, ground now completely white.

  2. Awful weather just as you describe all weekend here (Bedfordshire), but sunshine and dry today. Weather forecast not looking great for mid week……snow for some!

    • It seems dryer today….so far anyway. Hopefully I’ll be undisturbed on the allotment this morning, but I won’t hold my breath. Yes they’ve mentioned SNOW this weekend for the SE corner. It had better not, that’s all I can say. We’re supposed to be sorting out my sister-in-laws garden this weekend.
