Wednesday 3 August - we go stormchasing!

Wednesday was another hot day and I was home by 3pm. On the way, the sky turned a very stormy dark grey so Keith and I sat out in the garden hoping that we'd hear some thunder and see some lightening, which we did, although it was a good way away. Mikey got into trouble by taking part in a water fight with a group of other lads, but who could blame them when the temperatures were near 30 degrees?

As we hadn't seen much of the storm we decided to get into the car and try and find it! It was moving a lot faster than we thought and it didn't help that the roads we were on weren't going straight! We splashed through villages that were drenched by rain and eventually managed to catch up with the very edge of it near Corby. As it was now getting near rush hour we turned back for home which was still as dry as a bone!

It was still too hot to go for a walk in the early evening so we set off at 9pm again and walked into the village first. It was a touch cooler, but not much! The sunset was beautiful and Sophie took lots of pictures of the gorgeous sapphire sky touched with pink clouds - fantastic!
