We Stayed In !

We had been warned!

Yesterday (Wednesday) was going to be very wet and windy!

Storm Noa was approaching many areas of the UK!

No 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.

Beautiful captures all and slurping the soup sure seems the tight thing to do in that weather!
In 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

Soup on a stormy day is soothing. Glad you stayed in out of all the wet.

Looks 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.

Practical Parsimony said...

It 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.

Definitely a day to stay indoors - unless one is a duck.

Donna said...

Thank you for the link to the gifs! I'll be using them, as well. Love the sunflowers and rain.
No more rain here...just sunshine.

Staying home on a rainy day is always the best. Especially with some delicious soup. Hope the sun is back.

Jan - 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!

Por aquí volvió el frío.
Me 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.

Crafty Green Poet said...

We'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

Jeanie said...

Wow. 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!

Linda said...
