I thought a lot of my pictures and info was going onto this page but it was going on to my own personal page. Sorry for the disaster there.
I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago from my house, they are only taken with my phone but we have had some super shows of the Aurora this winter.

Sorry for my absence yet again, since I got home from my holiday it's been a busy time. I will hopefully be back with more info and phots after the storm of the day passes, even tomorrow is still not looking very good it's it's pretty horrid today. It was so lovely yesterday out on tour with some lovely guests off the Regal Princess. Really enjoyed showing them around.
