*wrings hands...my tomato plants are ruined and the dog has totally lost it......tsk tsk......

big hailstones here, thunder for about 4 hours on and off, stair-rod rain and a river running down the road - at least my allotment won't need watering for a couple of days!

We put laptop and TV's off when the storm struck.
Better safe than sorry, we thought . . . . .

its issing it down here...

We had it here too at about 7....& what happened it did something to my PC so now have me keyboard plugged into the front of the tower

Was sunny in North Essex all day until 7ish and then the storm came, thunder, lightening and lots of rain. Everything been quiet for the last 15 minutes or so. Haven't seen it that spectacular for a while now.

was sunny here this morning and then lunchtime rained and thundered and tonight started again and poured down, dog only went in front garden and came in again but has that lovely wet doggy smell now.

Think will send hubby out to put the hens away although he doesnt give them strokes like i do they might miss them (how sad am I)

On calendar weather it gave blobs all over the country.

I had just put my suntan lotion on this morning and then it was gone, bleddy sun.Bit fickle who it shines on don't you think? LOL

The storms have now swept across the vast plains of Essex, no need to water the garden this week.

no hailstones here LWD, though there were huge raindrops lol

I must admit, I could hear it rumbling in the distance at about 3.00pm, and seeing the news, that must have been what they got in Watton, causing the flash floods.

It's very slow-moving though.

Evening All,
It left us in Lincoln about 5 and is now hitting Manchester area according to no1 daughter.
I have only just dared switch back on from lunch time and I can hear rumblings again. flipping heck!
Forgot to ask.. Did you get some biggish hail stones as well? noisy beggars they are.

Hello Teresa.........it sounds as if you got hammered a bit then .

It's pouring with rain here and the storm seems to be getting closer . Hopefully it will wander off and do its business in the North Sea.

I must add my OH hasn't turned the TV off.......lol

I'm good thanks Trinity..........hope your good too .

I've just been looking out of my window , spotting frogs in the rain.......lol

Claire, it was welsh type rain for sure. It's been ages since I saw a downpour like that, and I think I was in Wales on holiday last time I saw it LOL

Amanda and Trinity, you're getting what we had in Norwich. It's stopped raining now, just about and we've got some weak yellow sun brightening things up. I dont' know how long it will last though.

Great day.
Pleasantly warm, dry and still brilliant blue sky out there.

Gwyn....not far from Channel coast.
