Yep, and the grapes were very nearly due to be harvested. Some vineyards lost 100%. Terrible reading in the local press.They would do some damage...
Yer be taking yer pig to have its nail done next.Today I have waxed n polished me tratter. And mucked the insides out - it's been doing tip runs with garden waste and brick rubble so was a bit dusty. Wouldn't look out of place in a Chelsea supermarket car park ------![]()
Could they have damaged your tiles anorl? Not cracked propper initially but a non split crack that later broke'd them.The ones that hit our place and dented car roofs were even bigger than that a few years back. Our area is for some reason prone to it. The area had to be declared a natural disaster area so that peeps could get their insurance to work.
You should have seen the queues outside the glass sellers for glass for porches, and you couldn't get roof tiles for love nor ready money!
Yes, that was one thing we thought about and I deffo think one in particular was damaged that way, but the amount of damage was so localised, just one part of one side of a roof that we don't think so, and nor do the peeps who sell the tiles.Could they have damaged your tiles anorl?

He is getting quite cultured. Said if I don't get it mucked out he wants two pairs of wellies. Reckons its much nicer inside now, but can I change the poncy air freshener for one which smells a bit more like a sty?Yer be taking yer pig to have its nail done next.
....and you really would like to have a dabble.There's an AEC Matador for sale on Ebay. Nobody's bid on it yet and it has a very reasonable starting price.
Oh my God I'm tempted. Realistically, I don't need that sort of headache in my life at the moment. Just the logistical challenge of getting it from the vendor to somewhere where I can work on it to begin with, let alone the process of sourcing parts, getting the engine to turn over and the brakes to hold air. Even so, It's a massive effort of will to resist the temptation.![]()

My blood pressure always a little highAt a recent meds review with my GP practice they could give me no real reason for the medications they prescribe other than "you have had a heart-attack and it's a protocol we follow."
The first & last heart-attack/incident was 17 years ago.
In 2002 a full stress test of my ticker showed a Left Ventricle Ejection Factor of 69% which is that of a healthy heart for my age group.
The NNT & NNH figures for all of the medications illustrate to me that they provide no real benefit but all of them have side-effects. My BP was always pretty low for a bloke my age and on the meds is almost through the floor at 93/58 @ 68BPM.
So I have decided to take none of them and we shall see if I expire in the near future.
My BP is now near normal (121/76 @ 80bpm this morning) for my age & mileage and I don't feel so lethargic and tired.
My smart-watch reports my average heart rate to be 77bpm when awake and 53 when asleep.
Q. Am I bonkers?

I've always liked the AEC Matador. I was saving up to buy one a few years ago but as a result of a couple of windfalls I rather overshot my savings target and bought some land instead. I got as far as buying a manual and a Whit/BSF socket set, and having a couple of phone conversations with people selling them but then the process of shopping for land took over. However, the desire has never entirely left me. . . .....and you really would like to have a dabble.![]()
As long as they are the same colour as the tratter I don't see a problemYer be taking yer pig to have its nail done next.
This video, although in French, shows what the hailstorms are like and then the guy explains how when a bunch of grapes is damaged, then it starts to rot and each grape touching others leads to them rotting too.
About 20 vineyards were hit like this or worse. The hailstorm only lasted 20 mins but that is all it took.![]()

Orages de grêle : des vignes ravagées dans le Tarn | TF1 INFO
▶️ Un orage extrêmement violent est intervenu au pire moment, à seulement dix jours des vendanges dans le vignoble de Gaillac, dans le Tarn. Samedi 24 août, en fin de journée, d'énormes grêlons ont détruit des vignes, mais aussi du matériel. L'averse n'a duré qu'une vingtaine de minutes, mais...www.tf1info.fr
I think your country or at least you area must have had a different year of rain compared to France. Here everything is ripening early or on time. Our apples were early.That's really bad news and am sure it will lead to a hard year ahead.
Have noticed (in the local gardens) that the grapes/other fruit are not as plump as they could be, maybe our latest drizzle/rain will help them plump up. Cos there are acres of them around here.
I am also sure it will affect the value of French 2024 wine. Get in early Stan.

You did see the third comment about the vendor?There's an AEC Matador for sale on Ebay. Nobody's bid on it yet and it has a very reasonable starting price.
