Just catching up. I lost the thread after the passing of my beloved Pooh Bear. No photos of note but an RIP for my beautiful boy.

Big hugs to you @MaineCoonMama. I'm always a mess after the passing of one of my pets. I've only just caught up as we have been moving but I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

See the aurora borealis from the UK

You can download this as an app and you'll get alerts when aurora are likely. It's currently on amber alert, so only expected to be visible further north (than me and Metropolis at any rate ☹)
Things change really quickly though, so fingers crossed for later!

Just damp and cobwebs behind a filing cabinet I had to move. I actually layed down to get a nice pic. Thought it looked arty.

Yes, it does look arty - I was trying to work out if it was patterns on glass or on metal. Like the texture!

It's a stunning Palace. I did a bit of work there. English heritage are expensive now though.

They are. When I went today, it would have cost £26 for an adult and a child, but as they were running a promotion I joined and paid £72 for 15 months as I thought it’d be more cost effective. Really beautiful and lovely grounds. I could happily live there!

My dad had tb as a kid and spent time in the hospital, being wheeled out for fresh air. I hope it gets the love the town deserves one day

Everytine we stay at this Travelodge we get this view and of Manchester.

Apparently your chances are better up North. I feel a little cheated ngl but the Northerners take brunt of the snow so fair’s fair I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I live in the east but it would make sense that the north would experience it better. I have heard that Donegal/Sligo are meant to be the best spots in Ireland. I would love to see it again this evening but something tells me I won't, this was a one off chance.
