Fortunately, we got back to the car without getting wet, but when we arrived in the village we were amazed to see the green was completely white with hailstones.    This is my back garden.

Polesden Lacey is the first National Trust property to be open every day  (apart from 'staff training' days which turned out to be an AGM at Dorking ...
