There are some great pics of last night's Northern Lights in the papers.

There is also a super set of Penrhyn Bay ones on Tom's twitter page.

Yesterday action man Hollins took these in Norway. No, he isn't on a nice sedate cruise around the fjords. He is on a ski touring trip accessed by boat!

I got through on the second link and the photos are really good, one day I'm going to have to get up early and take some photos like Gwynant does.
Those photos of Norway are really good too and brought back nice memories of my holiday in that country.  Unlike action man though,  I had to rough it  on a cruise     ;D       
Make sure that you keep topping up action man's insurance Hollins because that slope looks pretty steep to me.

I am pleased and relieved to say that action man made it safely back without having to use the insurance policy!
I did spend a worried week though. It was one thing going up to rescue him from Barrow hospital after the broken ankle incident but it would have been a different story retrieving him from Norway.
Here are some of his pics.

Breathtakingly beautiful Hollins and good to know that Mr H didn't lose his no claims bonus.

Post should read, "bath with a view!"

While Mr H was away I took myself off to Derbyshire to visit some old mates and I stayed at Hassop Hall which I can highly recommend and which also has this room which has a super view from both the bedroom and bathroom.

It's on the second floor and only a field of sheep opposite!

I'm very old fashioned with that sort of thing! Two toilets as well!
