We had been warned!
Yesterday (Wednesday) was going to be very wet and windy!
Storm Noa was approaching many areas of the UK!

...I'm sorry to hear this, it beautiful here.
ReplyDeleteNo rain here at least for this week, but some rainy days are expected early next week. That's a good thing because now that snow is behind, rain will help some of the plants which have yet to bloom in NH.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures all and slurping the soup sure seems the tight thing to do in that weather!
ReplyDeleteIn Mumbai it is hot, very hot!
Yes even my Mum braved a dash to Sainsbury's in an amber weather warning, they normally miss the storms. So I hope you can stay in and enjoy that lovely-looking soup! We are stinking hot here in Thailand! Wren x
ReplyDeleteNot stormy here in North Idaho.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe.
Glad you stayed in! We are in summery weather here at least for this unseasonable week in Toronto -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSoup on a stormy day is soothing. Glad you stayed in out of all the wet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like trees are being felled across the northern hemisphere. So sad. We would gladly take your rain. Where I live, we are in a severe drought.
ReplyDeleteIt will be rainy and stormy here tomorrow. We plan to stay in, too. I use days like this to do things that are indoor activities, like coloring my hair, folding clothes that have dried, and dish stuff.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a day to stay indoors - unless one is a duck.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to the gifs! I'll be using them, as well. Love the sunflowers and rain.
ReplyDeleteNo more rain here...just sunshine.
hugs

The weather sounds awful. I am glad everyone was safe in that house.
ReplyDeleteI love the view of the waves crashing. We could use some rain here it has been dry lately.
Take care , have a great day!
Staying home on a rainy day is always the best. Especially with some delicious soup. Hope the sun is back.
ReplyDeleteA day to enjoy indoors. Love that soup recipe!
ReplyDeletethat must have been some storm! Soup is perfect for a rainy, stormy day
ReplyDeleteHello dear Jan! I do love a good storm! We have sunshine galore for the time being! I hope your Easter was nice! xoPom Pom

ReplyDeleteWeather here in western lower elevation Vermont...I see sunshine.
cream of tomato soup is my very most favorite!! it was a good day to be a duck!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a high of 77 and sunshine and went to a local public garden. Our rain storm comes through today, or so they say...
ReplyDeleteWow does look like it was quite the mean kind of weather, glad you all are well.
ReplyDeleteSome crazy weather up here too. Was absolutely torrential on Tuesday night!!
ReplyDeleteThat's was our weather here yesterday too. Sunny today and a little wind.
ReplyDeleteMany of us have had that kind of weather lately.
ReplyDeleteIncredible wet weather is what I am experiencing in down under too
ReplyDeleteJan - a rainy day is the perfect day for soup, especially tomato! Our snow has mostly melted, but the temperatures are still quite cool. We had a few snow flurries today! Thanks for visiting my blog today!
ReplyDeletePor aquí volvió el frío.
ReplyDeleteMe encanta la sopa de tomate, por Extremadura la comemos acompañada de higos.
Buen fin de semana para Todos.
Un abrazo.
Yes, the middle of April and we are still on soup. Oh well, the weathermen tell us a mini heatwave is coming . You have to larf.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a fair amount of rain, but also sunshine in between! I love the photos of the mallards and the sea at Ilfracombe. Such a shame to see the fallen tree though, sad for both the tree and the people whose house was damaged
ReplyDeleteWow. Weather is screaming all over the world. It looks like a fabulous day for staying in and having tomato soup with all those yummy add ins!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been dry here in Virginia. I hope we get some rain soon.
ReplyDeleteHere it's sunny and around twenty.
ReplyDelete...it's raining here and according to the weather forecast until next Wednesday, on Thursday the sun is supposed to come with warm spring weather... being inside with tea, soup and a good book... YES.
ReplyDeleteI wish it was raining here..We are already 4 inches behind..Not good way to start the summer..

ReplyDeleteYesterday was Summer and today was Summer in the morning ~ Spring cool in the afternoon ~ lol ~ New England ! Rain this weekend reportedly.
