Its really pouring down now,thank goodness. We havent had a drop for months,so im happy:-))

Where are you Roxanne - we had rain on Costa Blanca this morning but sun shining again now. Mary in Spain

Hi Mary, Costa del sol, Its been dry for so many months. have you had much Rain this year? Roxanne x

No - usually get a couple of thunderstorms in August or September but no rain for months and we do so need it. Only trouble is when it comes it does not know when to stop. Them Gotta Freras - not selt right - but guess you know what I mean - are something else. Mary in Spain

Its like that here at the moment, Mary, Its just unbelievable how much rain is coming down,Im glad to see it though. I hope you get some soon. Roxanne x

Thanks for that - can we have it when I do not have to go out shopping - pretty please. Mary in Spain

We had a couple of spots but nothing to bring the washing in but it could still happen Hi Mary

Hi Jaxqui - you alright Mary in Spain

The trouble is it is probably like here when it rains like that. It doesn't do any good just bounces off the earth and causes flooding. Still i bet it smells fresh. However, I also betany holiday makers are not impressed. Ann Glos

True Ann,Its all running down the road , but you should smell the Jasmin is beautiful:-)I always feel sorry for the holiday makers when its like this, it happens so rarely though.

Is it still raining Roxanne - you got any thunder or just the rain. None here although seems to be clouding up again. Mary in Spain xx

We've had another dozen or so spots but the sky is back to blue although a few grey in distance. Which means it might skirt us again

No Just Rain at the moment,Mary! When we get the thunder here its frightening. Roxanne xx

Must admit Roxanne when we get thunder both my dogs hide thats if I'm not there 1st lol nor do we have drainage so our road is like a river and a muddy one at that

I do not like the thunderstorms either. We have mountains round here and the thunder seems to go one way and then come back and give us another go. Dog ends up jumping on my lap quivering like mad. Mary in Spain

Hi Jacqui, My cats go missing too, they hide in the cupboards in the bedroom!poor things. Where are you Jacqui?

No the feeling of that Mary no sooner do u creep out thinking its gone when it bounces back from another direction. We are surrounded by hills and water

I'm in the Costa Calida at the bottom end of the Mar Menor

If I hear a rumble of thunder I go and make sure all the candles are at the ready plus matches - cos leccy is sure to go off. The joys of living in Spain hahaha Mary in Spain But I cook with calor - very old cooker - but does not need leccy!!

I have both, cook on leccy out in the awning (its free), gas in the van plus we have a battery system for the lighting aswell as a inboard genny if needed.
