It was like that a week last Sunday when we were on our hols down in Devon (Woodland Springs) It collapsed the back end of our Vango Sumatra with the weight of the hailstones 17 Luckily all was well after hubby swept them off.  Never seen anything like it, the whole site was white and with it came the thunder and lightning! 17

Happened here at 3pm but was gone around 7pm.

We have Forrest School/Outdoor community after school on Monday nights from 3.30- 7.30.

They rigged a tarp over the climbing frame in our playground/wildlife area and we got a good campfire going so its wasn't too bad. The children enjoyed it every bit as much as they did it he previous two weeks in the sun.
