Ooh look,  I just found this:

"The "30-30 rule" for lightning is a universal outdoor safety guideline recommended by the National Weather Service.
It advises that you seek shelter if the time between seeing a lightning flash and hearing the thunder is 30 seconds or less, and that you must wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder to safely resume activities."

Yes,  but where would you seek shelter?

Ahh, flash to bang time

The thought had crossed my mind, it would seem though that the gold Lurex GT Model Mankini ( one of my faves has seen better days) claw marks from the nails of female fans has caused a lot of fraying 😋

Same problem in Germany - money is missing everywhere.
However, we have to leave the church in the village as we say - I can't remember that we had such problematic times before - Covid - war in Ukrainia, war in Israel, Palestine and Iran, an American president who is changing his mind from one day to the other.

Cool breeze..temp around 25/6..
I haven't recovered from the heatwave yet.. knocked me for six.

When Asda had bread half price
Lizzie thought ' sandwiches would be nice'
I'll do some eggs and cress..
They are the ones I like the best

As you are talking of migrants -  I thought with the Brexit problems with migrants, above all African migrants, will be yesterday's snow in your country - sorry. 
It's true we also have problems with our migrants, but for the very near future and because of all those wars and crisis I don't see any quick solution of the problem, on the contrary ....

Today I had some Angel Delight for dessert it was wonderful... It took me back ..
Do you think that as we get older we like to go back to tastes from the past.?
Spotted Dick ... Treacle Tart.. Butterscotch Tart.!!!!
I made a butterscotch tart a few weeks back.. It was so sweet.. The family enjoyed it..
My mum would make bacon pudding.. Scraps of bacon in a suet roll.. Wrapped in cloth .. tied and boiled in a saucepan.. We kids loved it... 

A very interesting discussion. However, maybe a bit one-sided as we say. We don't have any Royals, however, our "fomer" royals (the Hohenzollern) have enormous land and property, too, and managing this keeps them quite busy. 
Royals are a luxury and rather expensive and I always had the impression that you are very proud of them and enjoy all that pomp and parades and don't want to miss it.
