I've just seen it, amazing! I've wanted to see it for ages especially after the recent programmes about it.

I saw it too but more strangely something equally as bright was coming the other way, almost due south to north.

I went out to look, only to find that it's chucking it down with rain now :-(

[Ratty2E]

Oh I didn't see that Prudie, wonder what it was?

[Prudie]

Oh dear have you got it early? I thought it wasn't due until Sunday :-(

[boxtops]

So did I !
