Yesterday I Bought A Tilley Hat To Go On My Tilly Head.

[Tilly2]

It's a good job I did because otherwise I would have got absolutely, frozenly soaked on our falconry day today.

Has it hailed, today, in your neck of the woods?

[Psybbo]

I'll send you a tilly lamp

[Tilly2]

Thank you, sibs. off to google tilly lamps

[woofgang]

yup, rained hailed and thundered.

[roopower]

Yes, we were at Drayton Manor Park in Staffs and it hailed and then poured with rain, then the sun came out and in most places it looked as though it hadn't rained at all!

[Tilly2]

Beautiful double rainbow, this evening.

[ladybirder]

Still raining here now.

[Svejk]

its been beautiful here. hope you enjoyed your day, anyway, till.

[Psybbo]

Still lovely here, although the downside of sunlight is showing up the dust

[Tilly2]

The falconry day was abandoned after an hour. We have another free session booked for June.

Piddling down here again.

I had a close encounter with a Bengal Eagle Owl, a Tawny Owl and an American Kestrel. Then, the heavens opened.

I wasn't on AB then. Thanks for posting that, janzman. I enjoyed reading that.

[janzman]

You are most welcome

Tilly, one has been rowing in the rain tonight. Completely missed the hail earlier as was at work busy with patients.

Hi, Ck. It's raining again.

I bought a similar, much cheaper hat last summer, as I am getting a bit concerned about skin cancer. So here in Wales, it protects against the regular rains and the occasional sun !
