    Has that Newgrange stream started? I just hope there's nothing wrong with my browser that it's not showing up.

    Had a great view of it from my house, but braved the conditions outside to try get a timelapse of it. This was a failure, due to my freezing cold hands and a dodgy tripod. Really disappointed with myself, I got lots of practise with timelapse photography over the Summer so I really should have done better! Maybe next time. :P

    Still, so happy I got to see it, especially as I forgot to set my alarm. God bless my cat!

    Here was my view of it:

    According to the weather radar there is a big bank of cloud heading for bruach na Bóinne, seems set to hit at sunrise, hmmm.

    Just realised that is snow heading that way, looks like newgrange is clouded over as it is, anybody near there??

    yes ,the govt will have to accept responsibility. But the 800 years of occupation must play a part!

    By the way, your location sounds comfy.
