Before the heavens opened...

With just a few hours of daylight in the day, poor Archie Bald, our black lab spends a large part of the day looking at me balefully, begging for release from incarceration.
So this morning, despite being up to my ears on work which has to be completed before Christmas, I thought I'd take an hour out.
After a blast of The Archers on podcast and a stroll under a winter sun, I spotted the sky darkening and a strange otherworldly gleam on the water treatment plant in the distance.
That's what you see here...
Next thing I knew I was being blasted by all the weathers under the sun; wind, hail, rain...
Even Archie of this ilk looked keen to get back to the car.
My late mum would've called it, 'a good blow.'
