...just remember it's 200 miles up

Not to mention being obscured by about 2000 foot of cloud! High winds, rain, hail and snow above 200 metres is the order of the day here. Ho bl**dy Ho!

and snow above 200 metres

Of course, the sleigh has to run on snow.

Seriously, hope your Christmas is not too eventful so you can enjoy it fully, I've had one power cut.

Doh! Of course it does

Thankyou Flecc. Hope your Christmas is as you would wish it. Powercuts are not unusual here, even in relatively gentle weather. Coming in by overhead line, it is vulnerable to blown branches and curious squirrels; and on one occasion a hot air balloon About 6 years ago, the power went off at 8am Xmas morning, and was restored in the evening on Boxing Day. All being well, we will have nothing as dramatic this Christmas. Season's Greetings to everyone!

Clear enough to be seen from my part of Devon. An awesome sight. Of course I told my little boy it was Santa, but I was more exited about seeing the ISS.

No cloud cover here at 1800 hours...excellent view of the space station as it passed over at 1700 mph.
....In plain view for 3 or 4 minutes.....Imagine there're guys in there....happy Christmas to 'em.
Mind you, I'd have struggled to convince my young grandsons that it was Santa and his sleigh.

.....happy Christmas everybody.
