Olivogelo and Hampstead Heath in a Storm
Saturday 6th June 2020
I hired a Zipcar again today, but then dithered over where to go, and ultimately ended up just driving across London to get some gelato for Olivogelo. After coming back home and dropping off the car, I went for a walk to Hampstead Heath, and got caught in a torrential downpour.

Later on, walking to Hampstead Heath. Alas the roses at the corner of College Lane have now gone over.

Walking up Parliament Hill.

It looked a bit grey at this point, but I really didn't get a sense of what was to come.

I say here for a while as the sky started to turn a rather more menacing shade of grey.

Thankfully I had my trusty hip flask with me to prepare myself for the deluge.

It's often a bit hard to get a convincing picture of rain, but I think it's pretty clear here!

The grey scales of the London skyline were interesting. It was raining very hard at this point.

Rain coming down in sheets!
