Nothing currently in London. But there was a big clap this morning when I was getting ready which actually made me spook like a horse!

Mot a trace of it yet in Birmingham. I've been messing about all morning dealing with apower gut (we were out for an hour and a half and the phone still isn't back on; I don't know the reason), doing online examiner marking training, etc. etc. I now have to nip in to the tax office to sort out the mess things get into when I work for half a dozen different agencies. I won't be on the plot till late, and I hope any thunder is well over by then!

Yes!  Luckily I'm in the office...   ::)

Hoping for a fine day tomorrow, off to the Bath and West Show - which means that it's likely that I'll get rained on down theallotment on Sunday.  If it starts lightning again, I'll put the hoe away and weed by hand... ;D

Thunder over the city centre this afternoon while i was in the tax office; they weren't very helpful and great Jove was obviously showing his displeasure. It's still pretty black out there. As long as it's over the city centre it doesn't affect us too much, as most people have sheds to hide in, but if it's on the other side we get flash floods which can be pretty unpleasant.

Heard a loud noise when I got in from work. OH states it wasn't her wind problem so I guess that it must have been thunder!!! Mansfield, Notts.

Yup! Central London around 5.30pm.
Saw the skies darkening and went round the garden positioning as many containers as I could find to catch the rainwater. Of course the storm was preceded by a mighty wind which blew them all over the place - there wasn't  even enough for a cup of tea by the finish!
