On Friday before I went to work it was such a hot day. It's a shame to miss it. So we took a drive out to Bakewell in Derbyshire.

We were only out a few hours and I got sunstroke so a little sleep before work was called for. 

When we went to work it was still beautiful and I was shocked about 20 minutes later when it started raining really fast with thunder and lightning!
