Mid-day errand - encountered some traffic and a few of the building clouds in the sky
Unusual or should I say uncomfortable cloud formation this morning.
A postcard bearing no publisher's name which was posted in Bournemouth on the 7th. May 1964 to:
Mr. & Mrs. J. Rudd,
50, Blackwell Road,
Kings Langley,
Herts.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mrs. Rudd and Joe,
We are having a nice time -
weather is not too bad.
That is our hotel in the
middle of the picture -
Pier View where we are
staying.
Lovely place, plenty of
food - everything is OK.
Freddy is keeping them
alive.
All the best from
Maud & Rose".
Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, 96 miles (155 km) long.
According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 183,491, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. With Poole to the west and Christchurch in the east, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of over 465,000.
Before it was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, the area was a deserted heathland occasionally visited by fishermen and smugglers.
Initially marketed as a health resort, the town received a boost when it appeared in Augustus Granville's 1841 book, The Spas of England.
Bournemouth's growth truly accelerated with the arrival of the railway.
The town centre has notable Victorian architecture, and the 202-foot (62 m) spire of St Peter's Church, one of three Grade 1 listed churches in the borough, is a local landmark.
Bournemouth's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, attracting over five million visitors annually with its beaches and popular nightlife.
The Lower, Central and Upper Gardens are Grade II* public parks, leading for several miles down the valley of the River Bourne through the centre of the town to the sea.
The rain let up for a while today, giving an opportunity for a brief stomp in the hills.Clouds loomed, the wind was nicely chilled and fresh, and we managed to retreat before any squalls pounced.

Some of the hail that came along with today's storm while I was trying to drive along and mind my own business.
Had to take a picture, it was 75 degrees when this happened.
