We had the most amazing thunderstorm last night!

I have always been one to enjoy a good thunderstorm. I remember as a young girl sitting on my Grandparents front porch during the thunderstorms!! My cousins and I would be in a competition to see who could stay out the whole thunderstorm.

Anyway, there are very very few thunderstorms in the UK. We got a couple this summer but they only last 2-3 minutes and then they are done. A real disappointment for a storm lover.

Last night just after we put the boys to bed I started to hear what I thought was the boys playing. But after checking on them I realized that they were all asleep. Then we saw the first amazing bolt of lightning. We sat watching from our bedroom window for the next 35 minutes! It was truly breathtaking!!
