By 'eck it's brisk!

I'm a little bit scared of strong winds. I always have been for some reasons, and yet I love thunder.
Weird.
Anyway I'm curled under a quilt being a little bit scared

It's got nippy this last couple of days. It's certainly a cool night

The 'best' wind I ever experienced was 12 or 14 years ago...it was our first visit to the West Country,and we decided to take a drive down to Land's End....this when the UK was getting hurricane-force winds in October. My ex and 10-year old daughter decided to get out of the car to have a 'closer' look at the waves crashing on the rocks...damned lucky they were not flung into the sea. Meanwhile-I waited in a car that was quite literally rocking from side to side.

THe best thunder&lightening is in NYC...viewed from the top floor of an apartment block......

A car is the safest place to be in a thunderstorm because the rubber tyres insulate the vehicle from the lightening going to earth. It may strike the the car but it is a bit like aircraft being hit with what I think is called Elmo's Fire and it doesn't enter the cabin area.

I'm off to bed now, but hope we meet-up again in the columns of AB.

Best wishes.....Ron.
