They were talking about it on the radio as I drove the kids home from school at ~4.30pm. The cloud had cleared by the time we got home and there it was, shining happily next to the moon. I grabbed the binoculars (as the birthday present is still uncomfortably in the box !!!!!) and it looked a treat. The temp at 4.30 was 3.9 degrees and windy so I didn't last long. I had another look just as it was getting dark and I could see the moon, jupiter and 3 of its moons all in the binos FOV, excellent sight.
