Thunder and lighting

Newcastle is flooded i am told. It was like night ar 6 pm. Now sunny but like a sauna outside.  Set off no rain at home to go to yard; less than a mile later could barely see and rivers of water on road. Stopped at gainers while it passed before going to yard where i had to dig drain out - all the mud of years washed in to it! Which at least means that the car parking area is not going to be muddy for a while! Horses were fine when i got there if somewhat damp! Monies cut another leg yesterday bit it was only surface. Charlie has one too so i went with wound powder in pocket along with the apple for Charlie and polos for both of them
