Lofoten is on my bucket list. I retire at the end of this month and it's time to start ticking them off.

LJ, not long back from Norway? From Twitter it looks like she's doing incredibly well on all this.

Northern Lights: Stunning photos show skies turning green and red over Scotland
The phenomenon is often seen in countries like Iceland or Norway, but sometimes the UK gets a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Some have even reported sightings far further south than typically expected.

I got an alert from Aurora Watch. Just looked outside and there’s nothing despite a clear night. I’ll try again in ten minutes or so.

That's a bit harsh...
Not a million miles from the truth either.
Nah, Seaham's done well for itself in the recent past and in fact has won a number of awards.
Right. I see I have two options here:
1. I agree in full. My apologies
2. My post was tongue in cheek. Am I banned yet?

I was in bodo, northern Norway middle of February and we got a northern lights display the first night.
I’ve been to Norway 6 times and I’ve honestly never seen anything like that night. It blew my mind like. Was unbelievable. Must be class living there and getting to see that all the time.

Recently returned from Iceland. Took a night trip out to one of the National Parks. Stood outside in the freezing cold for two and a half hours. The stars were amazing, but no Northern Lights.
At midnight we got back on the coach for the return journey to Reykjavic. Everyone was on board, the guide said it wasn't to be and the coach engine started up.
We were just about to set off when someone taps on the door from outside advising the guide the Northern Lights were starting to appear. We all got out and it's fair to say that during the next 15-20 minutes I witnessed one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen in my life as the lights appeared, before melting away almost as quickly as they arrived.

I'm not the jealous type but...
