I was half dozing last night, the fire was crackling and hissing as the logs slowly burned and I was pondering an early night. Then Julie pointed out there was an Aurora alert and quite a lot of talk on Twitter about it being a ‘good one’ 😉 so I wandered outside expecting to see cloud – which is normal whenever there’s an Aurora alert. For once however the sky was fairly clear and I tried a couple of snaps from the lane, it looked interesting enough to bundle a few bits in the car and take a quick trip down to Long Meg. I’ve always wanted to see Long Meg silhouetted against an Auroral display and as luck would have it I managed it, well, I managed a few photographs before remembering we’d be getting up in only a few hours.
