Default Spotted my first funnel cloud after 55 years' observing

On a short break in Cornwall, about 1100, just leaving Newquay on our
way to Padstow last Saturday (13th).

We were only a couple of miles from St Mawgan, did they report
anything or do they even have human observers there these days?

After about 55 years of observing, both official and unofficial, and
having spent some time in the American Midwest, and having experienced
some spectacular storms, this is the first funnel cloud I have seen.

It was tiny and extended only a small way from the cloud base but it
was definitely a funnel cloud.
