I first spotted it earlier in the week, though it was very difficult. It's almost the 1 year anniversary to IISAC2007! Man the comet was a sight from Lostock.

I can hear the song playing now Mike -
out with the Barbra Streisand lyrics


Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
the way we were...

It was certainly a memorable time, HRH & I raced to the end of the street on successive nights to view, only to find some days later that the view from our back yard was just as good.

Remember it well, gee time passes so quick, and Phil I did exactly as you, drove about 10 ks each night and found out sooner than later that at home was the best spot.
