Just had a phone call to say the S.O. can see the Northen Lights in the sky above Lindisfarne so anyone oop north might want to have a look out of their window and see if they can see them too. Unfortunately I'm not there sad.

tegan if you are on Facebook, go onto Hidden Northumberland some of the photographs are fantastic.

My son drove all over Finland looking for the Northern Lights and failed, and the S.O. takes the dog out for her last walk of the day and there they are. Lifesnotfairsometimes....[what's even more annoyng is that S.O. hasn't got a camera with him either...although seeing photos would probably make me even more envy]...

Must check with DS to see if he is out chasing the lights, he usually gets some good photos.

Wonderful photos, I'm so envy. We're staying in Northumberland very soon, so I'm hoping to at least see some Dark Sky!

You'll see lots of stars Mini cause there's no light pollution.
