Nice piccie here though most of the good photos are taken with extra long exposure and from a tripod, so I won't be doing anything like that,  Apparently you can get a really good photo when there is almost nothing to see with the naked eye, so a bit of a cheat I suppose, but still lovely to dream

I saw it - first time I have looked for it too  :excited:
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

No .... I was waiting at the Ferry Terminal with all the ferry and harbour lights it was nearly as light as day.  I could see a greenish glow and there was masses of stuff to be unloaded for Orkney so we were very late sailing  Grrrrrrr....... On Shetland now and waiting for the Bressay Up Helly Aa tonight.  The man on the Bressay ferry said it was the best display he had seen in his 40 years  ::)

I didn't look until about 0430 by which time there was a rising mist so I didn't see a thing.  Will look tonight.

Love the pics on the link - the one at Foxley is taken from about a mile from where I grew up in Norfolk.  When I was a child my parents saw the lights only once, and I was asleep at the time - grrr  :rant:
