5 Perseids

Nige is a mine of information and warned us that we may be able to see the perseids meteor shower this evening! ( the best shower until 2013) so with Joan gamely in tow, we stood in the garden, necks craned towards the North East like American rednecks in the 1950's. It was not as exciting as say something out of Deep Impact, but we did see at least five impressive examples! hey ho. and the evening was warm and pleasant
