Was really bright over Norwich the night before the event. Walked home with mates from pub over a few fields and we were all commenting on just how birhgt it was, not knowing about this 'super moon' event the evening after

I was asleep when the sun went down, and as I had the camera out at a 24hr bike race, I took some photos, but I couldn't tell any difference really...
