Out of the blue a huge thunder and lightning storm appeared this evening. Rushing around closing shutters meant that for a few brief seconds windows were wide open, and in that time we were both drenched and pelted with some pretty painful hail.
There is some weird weather going on at present. In the space of a week we have gone from very cold to unseasonably warm. But with the end of February in sight spring is only just round the corner.
In fact we have seen our first flock of cranes fly over (is it a flock?) so they must reckon the cold weather has finished. Can’t think I would choose to spend the summer months in Scandinavia though.
