I nearly walked into a lampost, looking at the sky tonight whilst walking the dog.
Saw nothing but a very cloudy sky

Its not just a one night thang lol

The season for seeing the Aurora Borealis is usually from December to March

What may happen is that the degree of lattitude that the aurora is seen at

may move lower thus giving people in less northern climes a chance to see

them.

We have a set a timescale of 2015 to get a winter hoiliday booked , specifically to see the Aurora
