Lightning strike

9th November
We had been promised thunderstorms among the heavy showers on Friday but didn’t see any evidence until bedtime when we heard a very loud strike which was close enough to knock out our electricity supply and the telephone line (found out later that it hit the electric fence on one of the neighbouring fields). We went to bed hoping that the power loss would not affect our freezer full of lamb and woke to find that the electricity had been restored within an hour. Unfortunately the telephone is still out after six days but should be restored tonight (Friday)
