Wet wet wet!

Ivy and I were just setting off for our afternoon walk, trying to ignore the dark clouds which were gathering, when the rain started.  We hadn't gone far so turned back quickly and I'm glad we did!  This was the bird bath a few minutes later and then a flash of lightning seemed to almost come in through the kitchen window as I took this photo, along with a terrific clap of thunder!  Our electricity went off briefly but all OK again now.
