This evening we had thunder & torrential rain.
It lasted about 15 minutes & then passed by leaving beautiful blue sky & sunshine.
You can see our bonfire ready to be lit in the field there...we have lots of paperwork & old account books to go on there too....we will light it before we move but I need to tell my neighbour before we do as she doesn’t like bonfires on her washing!!
Going north & away from us!
Three good things:
1. A beautiful thoughtful gift through the post from a friend.....( you know who you are! Xx)
2. A U turn by the examination board over the A level results...it’s good to acknowledge mistakes.
3. A very clean fridge!
We had a storm a couple of days ago - the rain came in the bedroom windows and wet the curtains, wall, rug and in the garage. I have never seen hail and rain like it.
I would have thought there would be a fire risk at this time of the year for your area! Perhaps being out in the country might make it ok. I'm throwing all our old papers in the rubbish as we can't burn them!
@maggiemae Well there has been a fire risk on the moors during July but this month it’s been wetter So the rusk is lessoned considerably. I put our papers in the recycling bin maggie, there is one for cardboard & papers but the ones we are going to burn are more private & a security risk...bank stuff & farm accounts that have gone past the number of years we have to keep them. We have to get rid of them properly! We are allowed general rubbish bonfires specially our where we are!
Love it when you get those very dark skies and brighter light. So golden and contrasty. Yes, we had some torrential rain yesterday now and then. It saved up its worst bout, of course, for when I was driving over to collect Teenager from work. It mostly stopped in time for my Learner Driver to drive back home!
@casablanca I bet your woes last year this time look tiny now...hope teenagers sailing course is back on track....sailing will always be there whatever the job market!
@happypat It has certainly been a challenging 12 months! A levels, 3 bereavements, Covid......but yes, you have to keep positive despite an occasional wobble. His course is not back on yet, but delighted he is getting experience working while he waits. Silver linings, eh?
Beautiful shot. My trees need a good soaking to clean the leaves from the dusk that has accumulated on them since the last rainfall. No rain perceived yet.
Happy memories of your lovely home though, and all your B&B people! 😊
