After a lovely sunny day we now have thunder, lightning and torrential rain.

Watched that coming in on the lightning map Gloria. It got to us around tea time but only one flash of lightning and a single peal of thunder along with the torrential rain of course. All past now and we are back to a cloudless sky and wall to wal sunshine at the moment.

It rained most of yesterday, with some very heavy showers. Today there’s a light wind, the sky is laden with rain, but it’s only missing as yet.

[Stanley]

I've got the washing hung on the rack to dry and the curtains are back up and hanging, they will soon dry. I have to say they look a bit better! The sun has come out to play and it's stopped raining for the first time today.
Now I can have a relax.....
