…or even’seeing’…!
Thanks Laurence. Shame you didn’t see any of it – you’ll just have to move north! I’ve really enjoyed weeing everyone else’s photos of the display, too. No sign of Nessie, but we’re going further north later in the year, so I’ll report back after that trip :)
Hi Anne
Thanks, as ever, for the sharing. There has been a really pleasing flurry of the nacreous clouds visiting us in the UK.
Alas, where I live in South Gloucestershire, I did not, much to my chagrin, see any of these wonders. Lucky you!
Best wishes.
Laurence
PS. Seen anything of “Nessie” lately?!?
