On the way home from Scotland to Yorkshire last night we saw the most
stunning lightning displays, horizontal forking in various colours. It
was horribly hot though, until we got home when it rained the sort of
rain you don't get often but is very good at clearing and freshening the
air.

And making vegetables shoot up :-)


Wots rain? :-(


It's sort of little drops of water, which for some reason, now and again,
fall out of the sky, if you have a little patience, and if you keep
looking, you might, one day, see some.

It's an experience not to be missed!


But don't waste it!

Place butts to collect it forom roofs, buckets and bins everywhere else.

It does wonders for vegetables.

And no doubt flowers but I don't care about those :-)
