anything else happened ? yeah my mother in law addressed me in the first husband's name .... which caused more unconnected chaos.

Peter Pedant

Hi Peter glad you saw it especially tonight as that is the best sighting I have seen. I started watching it about 8 years ago and I can see the difference in how it has grown . It was just a spot in the sky and difficult to pick out . After reading about it I put the times up and was surprised how many people did not know they could see it . Have a good xmas and a happy and healthy new year

Thanks wendilla - that was the clearest view I've ever had of the ISS.

I dragged a dozen or so people out of a warm, buzzy reception to stand in the cold and stare at the sky - of ages from 3 to 83 (at a guess).

Every single one was entranced and smiling broadly as 'santa' cruised over Warwickshire - a magic moment.
