The Northern Lights

It's been changed Pippah. Someone disturbed the Magnetometer with a lawnmower. Not joking.

Back to Green now

Oh Poohsticks!    I think I shall have to go for the real thing!

Don't despair, I have seen them many times from not that much further north than Lincolnshire. (Yorkshire Dales)

My son and I were going to take a trip that way last year for my 70th Birthday - but he had a baby instead - now Brexit has put a stop to him working here and he has had to move to the US - so one way or another its up to me!  An Autumn trip up North might be the way. 

You can only hope Aurora Watch get it right but so often there is nothing to see.

No point in giving you a ring because its usually in the early hours and seeing it here does not mean it's visible in Lincolnshire.

There's so much light pollution down here in the south east, you're lucky if you can see the plough. The aurora is on my bucket list too. Perhaps I should head north with P&O and get a double. 

Did that a few years back, saw the midnight sun bounce back up off the horizon but the Northern Lights refused to play ball and we never saw them, even though we shifted position by a few degrees south.

Our youngest son and his girlfriend are off to Norway, next month, they might be lucky enough to see them.

Very little light pollution here on the moors, but I've never had a glimpse. High on my wish list though....

I was hoping to head to Iceland on a city break to see them, but I took early retirement instead to look after OH, so I don't think I'll ever see them, even though they will remain on my bucket list
