hail, April is here


You can tell spring has sprung by the fact that I got hailed on three times in one day. The last time I was taken pity on by a kindly delivery driver who happened by and transported a soggy me the last 800m home. The second time I curtailed my stroll from home on account of not being able to lift my head up to see where I was treading. The first time was on the beachside with Eve. The hail so vicious I felt like crying.

Nevertheless the sun did show it's face so i snuck in to our capital and took a few snaps with the Hassie. Unfortunately I thought it was 400asa film in it but alas no it was 100 so I pushed the development somewhat.surpringly the negs were not too bad and definitely printable if I could raise the energy.

This is I might add a snap of the fuel depot near the centre of the town.  It's next door to a short-lived brewery bar.

I got hailed on like you..it certainly sneaks up on one and takes away the breath..after luring one out with sunshine!

To start with I thought you meant worshipped and I imagined a Monty Pythonesque scenario with Lewis-Islanders, toga-clad, bowing. Then I realised it was purely meteorological. All’s well that ends well, and that photo was a fine end.
