Amazing Storm

There was an amazing storm last night at our place in the North East. For over an hour (started just before 10pm) lightning was flashing continually, followed by bellowing thunder, together with lashings of rain against our windows. It even set off some ringing carpark alarm downstairs that went on for ages.

The kids were already in bed but got woken up by the noise. Luckily they could try and sleep, although somewhat restlessly, while I sat quietly patting them in their room.

Sean was away and it really made me feel how vulnerable we all were, cocooned together in the kid's room, with the storm raging out there.

By the time things quietened down and I went back to my dinner in bed, the spaghetti was somewhat congealed. Sigh.
