The big melt continued on Tuesday and we noticed the following:

  1. No, I don’t think so… I think it was from the snow falling off the higher roof… this is the roof f the single storey dining room.

  2. Sadly they have now gone. The big melt continues, though we still have snow ont he verges and in shaded areas, especially field hedges.

  3. It’s a bit like the mystery of the meteor falling from the skies and cracking three of my roof tiles, and the inner roof lining.

    We may never know, but I have my suspicions. 😉

  4. At least you have a photographic record. There is hardly any snow remaining here, only half melted snowmen in fields.

  5. Well, do you remember me mentioning various disasters; ie, the failure of the oven and replacement thereof?

    Last winter my next door neighbour spotted cracked slate tiles in the annex roof. The obviously cannon ball shaped object smashed through the tiles and the roof lining but there was no sign of a meteor; just a round hole.

    It has happened before and my neighbour, who is a retired BA pilot had the same thing happen to his greenhouse.

    He decided it was overflying aircraft and waste from the loos from however many thousand feet, turning into small cannon-balls. In the absence of any evidence, and not knowing quite which airline was responsible, I can’t sue anyone.:)

  6. I have heard the expression “to be s**t upon from a great height”, but I can’t say I have ever known anyone that it has actually happened to, until now; my condolences! It is illegal incidentally to drop any object from a civilian aircraft, including toilet waste, I would have thought…

  7. I found this image:

    and this one:

    Maybe mine was just a smaller version?

    Found under ‘pinwheels’ not cartwheels, BTW.
