To cleanse and refresh

Mother Nature has well and truly let us know that she is in charge today.

She decided that enough was enough. Too much sun and too much heat, not good for us.

So she sent thunder and lightning, and torrential rain to cleanse and refresh us. To clear the air, ready for another week of summer.

Megan and I set out this morning for a lovely walk, to get food for our fluff-monster. Blue sky, no wind, hot as Hades (well, maybe not quite that hot!). By the time we got home, we were literally soaked to the bone! Hair stuck to our faces, feet squelching, clothes absolutely wringing....Meg had an awful job getting her soaking wet skinny jeans off, I can tell you!!! Even the carrier bag with the cat food was half full of water!!

But what a wonderful experience!! The neighbours will be thinking that we've finally flipped. We were strolling home, sunglasses still on, laughing our heads off and revelling in the rain. We had such fun! It was quite magical.

I am grateful to Meggie for sharing that lovely walk with me! I'd say it will be a walk that will be remembered for a long number of years to come.

Gratefully yours.
