First four pics are our experience of an Italian storm as promised for Di the other day.

The rest are from earlier today - we had a visit from the Red Arrows as part of this weekend's seaside festival here in Morecambe. I took these pics from the bedroom window. Richard was upstairs just above taking pics out of the velux roof window on the top storey. He's got some nice closeups taken with the zoom on his horrid big heavy camera. Might post some another day if posting someone else's pics isn't cheating...

1 The campsite near La Spezia on the coast north of Pisa in the evening of arrival, mid-September 2009. The name of the campsite is Camping River...
2 The scene on awakening next morning - I say awakening, we hadn't had much sleep thanks to the storm
3 Richard (in red anorak) visiting our next door neighbour
4 Richard returning to our motorhome - just visible through the window glass and the rain
5-10 Red Arrows, lunchtime today. Note the birds on the left getting in on the act in the last pic
