Hail in Pretoria

August 25 was a cold Thursday evening and we tried to have a braai. Suddenly te weather turned nasty and wind was blowing cold. The next moment it started to rain and the raindrops turned into hail.

Ursula’s camera was fortunately in her handbag and we took a couple of shaky pictures.

Jarrot found the taste of the hail particularly pleasing, his first hail experience…
