Dampening the dust

Lovely sunny warm starts to the days at the moment,  but yesterday huge shiny white clouds built up to the north of us during the afternoon and thunder rumbled around but it didn't amount to anything.

Same start to today but late this afternoon thunder rumbled back and forth for ages,  then came the lightning,  and huge splodges of rain plus  hot gusty wind......we were out covering seed trays, putting down parasols, taking in chair cushions, suddenly remembered the new table out by the pool....would it be alright or turn upside down and get scratched.....decided to leave it and keep fingered crossed.

A couple of hours later and it's all calm again.  We ate dinner indoors, Pip crawled out from her hidyhole under the bed,  and we've been for a short walk.  Not too far as its all overgrown and I get wet legs from the damp long grass.

And it's still 25 degrees which is what we woke up to - shame about the bad bit in the middle!
