Perseids

Space has been putting on an amazing show tonight! :D

It looked too cloudy for the Perseids earlier but it cleared for a while and we saw so many, some quite faint and others like fireworks, Tom and I have just come in from the garden after the cloud started rolling across again. Hopefully we can spot more tomorrow night.

I'm heading for the mountains tonight so I might get a view. However the clouds are forecast to be around a lot so I don't know.

It was too cloudy here last night, glad we had a good look on Thursday night.

Di there were some like that on Thursday, a lot of little ones and then suddenly a huge bright one would shoot across the sky :D

They always make me think of my grandparents. The first shooting star I ever saw was when we were walking to visit them one Sunday evening when I was 3 or 4, every time I see one I think of them and that time.
