followed us all the way back from the Lodge last night - got back to work & had to swap vehicles - got drenched.

Coz loved the lightening though - especially over Stansted.

Just driven the girls to school as it's started up here again.
They're just starting their last day at Primary school......

Saw the lightning from here (near Halstead) from about 9.40 last night, chucked it down as well until around 11.30.
All kicked off again at just after 1 this morning.
