Tuesday

 When a good deal of England was expecting the hottest ever September day this is what I saw when I opened the curtains

Dramatic clouds all around

The clouds continued to flow down from the North

Kept going out onto the balcony to take another photo

Wooster doing his " I see three ships" routine

LPG tanker JBU Maas

Bulk Carrier Wish Star

Some nice waves for a while

I waited in for the Boiler service man and Jim took the dogs out

Still the line of cloud

Rain was approaching from the South this afternoon

Although the clouds were moving the other way

Our super garden helper Robert - standing on the top of the wall above the footpath - sadly he soon had to go for a tea break in his van as the torrential rain arrived - it didn't last too long

With more rain in the offing I took the dogs up the hill

 No visible breaks in the cloud but there were several patches of brightness

and that was it -

 I got home and around an hour later the thunder & lightning and more torrential rain arrived - think that The Lizard got the worst of it - the pink and white is the heaviest
