Hi Ruth - should be - check Heavens-Above Home Page and enter nearest town/village for 10 day prediction.

Site also has predictions for the Iridium series of satellites each with a door-sided 'mirror' that catches sunlight at twilight [typically twice a day] that can appear as a brilliant 'star' for a few second virtually anywhere in the sky. Its time/sky location is given and with friends present it's like a bit of personal magic to point your finger at a bit of [clear] sky and say "in 10 seconds behold!"
