Despite all those grey clouds, when I nipped out to check around half-eleven, I saw five Perseids - and one was a long and golden, and another was stumpy and bright and trailed by puffts of smoke! Felt like that one almost came down in Somerset!

You seem to have had completely different weather from us - we were boiling hot sunshine all day. Sorry! And you had clouds for the meteors too - so not fair! The sky here was amazingly clear, so I got up and sat out on the lawn to watch around 2am and saw loads - probably about 3 a minute. So nice to have a meteor shower do what's it's meant to, and actually be able to see it, too. \o/
