The Brighton beautiful light extravaganza

MOTHER Nature has once again laid on a spectacular light and sound show.


The sky was illuminated with multiple bolts of lightning, crackling with electricity – and then came the crashing of thunderstorms over southern England.  The dramatic images show the impact of the unsettled weather on the South Coast on Sunday evening.

Warm winds brought in the lightning, thunder and sheets of driving rain along with the dark, foreboding skies.


The ruins of Brighton’s West Pier were eerily framed by two large fingers of lightning, while the night sky was split in half above the Isle of Wight by a huge lightning bolt.

And we can expect to be lit up by more powerful lightning strikes again over the coming days....

BTW

For those of you who might have followed the garden shed saga, well, we are about 36 hours away from delivery and erection. We have enjoyed about two weeks of fine weather here in Southern England and today was no exception. Overcast at times but plenty of sunshine. But as Sod's Law predicts, things will go wrong at the wrong times. The weather forecast for Brighton on Friday 27th June is for 'Heavy Showers'....

The shed company has assured me that delivery and 'on-site' erection will take place no matter what the weather conditions. So, I am likely to finish up with a new garden shed that is thoroughly wet on the inside as well as the outside and in need of 'paint treatment' when it ultimately dries out.

In no uncertain terms this could be a bit of a 'bummer'....
