Perseids

As is often the case here in the UK we had cloudy skies at the time of the Perseid meteor peak on the night of 11/12 August. I stayed up till 12.30 am but saw nothing. The following night was clear so my son and I lay out on our trampoline at about 10.00 pm. In 20 minutes we saw 5 Perseids and one sporadic. All were bright and left a trail. There's lots of light pollution where we live so we did well. My son was very excited.
