After a day of heavy rain the sky broke just after sunset to give this incredible light
We were enjoying some time with our granddaughter last Thursday when she suddenly pointed out that the sky was changing colour. She was right.
It had been an awful day of weather – heavy persistent rain and windy.
THe first thing we noticed was the sky turning blue and then going into purple as in this photo taken at an early stage of this remarkable phenomenon.
During heavy rain and after sunset the sky started to change colour to a blue/purple before going a vivid pink
Then a few minutes later it really put on a show as it turned a vivid pink over the Grand Pier here in Weston Super Mare in Somerset, England.
After sunset with heavy rain still falling the sky turned this remarkable mauve pink
I can safely say that I have never seen anything like this before – an extraordinary sight.
So, if any budding Meteorologists out there would like to explain then there are a lot of people here who would love to know the reason for this event.
After this show the sky broke over the Bay and produced this stunning, fiery show over the Bristol Channel.

My passion is writing about travel and particularly French travel. I have traveled extensively in France and wine and food has always featured on my travels and now in my books. My friends always await our return from France with the latest new finds from the vineyards and I was more than happy to keep sampling. I am from Lancashire in the north of England but have now relocated to Somerset (nearer to France) and able to enjoy devoting my time to writing and new discoveries.
France came late to me as a destination, in fact so conservative was my travel upbringing that it was a long time before I even ventured to Cornwall. I have more than made up for the slow start and have enjoyed helping many others with their travel plans to France and especially to Paris and Provence.
I have written a series of four books on France - Three are now on Amazon:THE FIRST TIME WE SAW PARIS about our first steps in French Travel, THYME FOR PROVENCE our discovery of that glorious region and the people and places we met and discovered, A DREAM OF PARIS a personal memoir of our times in Paris with friends.
France has been fun, we have been burgled on our very first arrival, we discovered the best cafe that changed our travel lives on the very next day, we learnt about French wine, we escaped from the most horrendous gite, we found the best of gites, B & B's and people, we laughed and cried with dear friends in Paris, I was hosed down by a crazy owner to cool me down in Provence, our breakfast in a remote village was served by the French army, we stepped totally out of our comfort zone and discovered the best of French culture. The experiences are varied and many and please come with me as I retell the stories and my footsteps are there to follow.
I am also writing about ancestry and genealogy and my first book about our incredible family story themed around war and the military is now on Amazon - A BULLET FOR LIFE.
I love the English game of cricket, golf, soccer, photography, walking and cooking. Oh, and travel of course.
