Hit twice by lightning!

Our house was hit twice by lightning this morning.  Our poor dogs were on the verge of nervous breakdowns!!! First it hit our ornate metal balcony upstairs – sparks flying and a fizzing noise… with the second hit our lights all came on!  Hopefully no damage – other than the phone now not working and our electric gates not opening (although fuse if fine).  According to our farmer neighbour this year is the “year of thunder storms”.

Val says it certainly seems very stormy and what do you do in a storm? We have spent most of the morning playing card games in the grange with the outside heater / parasol chauffant on.
