April 20th

Tentative caress

then a roaring rage of hail

crashing onto glass

 

I like watching people run for it when the sky opens. There was quite a powerful hail shower when I was in the Stevenage office. From humble starts the hail suddenly unleashes. I only take a small bit of pleasure watching people skip through the car park, getting pelted!

January 3rd

 

Eucalyptus bows,

Wind whipped and subservient,

Waylaid, flayed, cloudburst.

 

The wind was really flying this morning. And the rain and hail was falling down in sheets. It was a good day to work from home. Looked miserable out there. Poor commuters, first day back for a lot of them!

The view of the Eucalyptus tree from our upstairs window, I’m always impressed by how much punishment it can take and how much flexibility there is in its movement.
