Aiming for September, Mick. Should have got my kit organised by then.

They haven't found him - now he could be anywhere - Rothbury, Rothwell, Rotherham,  Rotherfield, Rotherhithe or even Rother Valley DSC ...

I'm sure that stuff would go opaque in any conditions.

Looking forward to it, but you'll soon be needing snow gear  ;)

It all depends how much of it you drink before making the observation...

Don't forget your sunscreen and sunhats this weekend. Looks like it's going to be a scorcher.

Who fancies a trip on the steam train saturday to Bodiam Castle?

Ah, snow flakes floating in your tea. Lets hope it doesn't rain. From what I heard when the weather gets bad at this location you need a boat

Hope you're getting a good view of tonight's noctilucent cloud display...

Tony G

I did. :D
First time I'd actually seen it, and wasn't sure if it was just normal cloud. but seeing that it has been mentioned without prompting on here, then, that must have been what I was watching.
Hopefully we'll have another display tonight, and I can maybe get a photo.

I saw it too, but I was in my camp bed in the garden with a Budwieser and therefore did not get up to get the camera :-)

Even R noticed it.
