The drought here has been dire, but last night there were flashes of lightning, and towards dawn torrential rain fell like Niagara Falls. The noise was terrific, and I expect there will be flash floods in places. The ground was so hard and dry that it can't absorb all this water too easily.
I intended to drive over to Fakenham this morning to get my grocery shopping in (Bank Holiday this weekend) but I'm not driving thirteen miles through thunder, lightning and cataracts of surface water. I've also forgotten which button makes the windscreen wipers work. Gulp.
Just shows you: 'Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it' eh?
