What season is it anyway?




So, would you believe Sydney in August? The temperature dropped from 24C to 14C in a few minutes and the ground was white with hail yesterday afternoon at approx 4.00pm, after a lovely spring morning. The hail was too small to do much damage, and no damage to cars - but lots of slippery roads and quite a few accidents. This van had to be pushed out into the road and then slid all over the place on the ice before eventually heading off. Erin and Katie were here as well and we all went out to look at the hail falling from the safety of the garage. The babies weren't frightened (probably because we weren't frightened) but were a little stunned. There were still unmelted hailstones in the shade today.
