We’re in the middle of our thunderstorm here in Castleisland now and the first, huge raindrops are falling on welcoming fields and plants.
It was lovely while it lasted – the sun I mean – and let’s hope we get some more of it.
Mind the Dogs
People with pets and especially dogs might want to keep a close eye on them as thunder drives them mad and they just run away.
