What were the skies like when you were young?

OK, so they're not little fluffy clouds but BIG ones. This is the best blip I could manage after a day of very heavy showers. It was taken in the fields in our village and the skies here do seem to go on forever. Had a really close sighting of a whitethroat and a corn bunting in the same bush, but they were skulking and impossible to photograph.
Hopefully I'll have something a bit more interesting tomorrow.
