Dark Sky - and Flowers.

Thank you very much to the anonymous person who gifted me some virtual flowers. My daughter, in particular, would be very grateful that they are both beautiful and virtual, as the real deal often makes her sneeze when she calls in.

Thank you too, to all the people who said such nice things on my last post - I'm so glad I overcame the embarrassment factor - even if it did make me blush!

And I thought ellynn_ithilwen, in particular, and any other astronomers on my friends list, whether professional or amateur, might be interested in knowing that The Isle of Man is set to be a centre for British star gazing after receiving an award from a UK research body - there are a couple of lovely pictures in that link too.
