This morning the weather changed!

The sky darkened, the thunder rolled and the rain fell in stair rods. 

Fortunately, I was in Cafe Nero when the downpour started. Not wanting to ruin my camera I stood in the cafe doorway and took a couple of photos showing the reflected lights from the shop windows shining on the very wet paving,

Things improved this afternoon and if the garden could smile and say thank you for the big drink I'm sure it would.
