Hailstones batter Fish Hill in August!

High summer continues to mystify the tourists with yet more bizarre weather…

Last week’s gallery browsers came armed with wrist straps dangling mini-umbrellas and mac-in-a-sacs. Larners must have done a roaring trade.

However, this week’s clientele were in dire need of Dad’s Army style hard-hats from Muckleburgh when hailstones the size of golf balls pelted down on them as they dashed across the High Street and under the awning for cover.

Every cloud has a silver lining though – especially if you are a coastal art gallery. Good thing we had just taken delivery of a new batch of extra-large weather-proof carrier bags!
