Yesterday afternoon when i was workng at the big house, it started to chuck it down with rain. I had cut the last of the big hedges in the morning, and was clearing up all the trimmings, i was on the second from last barrowfull, just taking it through the trees to the bottom of the garden.
All of a sudden there was this massive blinding blue flash, followed by the loudest crack of thunder i've heard for a long time, i'm not sure exactly where it struck, but it was very close.
I must say i don't scare very easily, but that was a little to close for comfort.
So i'm afraid you lot will have to put up with me for a little longer.

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
