Last night was exciting. I had to get to the shop on the main street to post a parcel and hoped we’d beat the storm. We sheltered from the rain underneath the big tree at the talking bin for a bit and then made it to the shop. On the way back the sky cracked with thunder and sheet lightning hit the sky above the park. We stopped under the overhang on the corner and stayed relatively dry until the heavy rain passed. At least two more lightning sheets until it eased.
It was great. The smell was superb. We made it back in the rain, just less heavy, and were more than a little wet. Once at the eaves of the house the rains started properly again and the roads became rivers. We were in dry clothes by then though. Fantastic.
