That is lovely Jem, Renes will be pleased with you and the Police.. and they say a policeman's lot is not a happy one..

Balaclavas would be ideal.

Just got in Guys. Myself, OH and Grandson have been at the nearest dark place- A Water Park car park 2 miles away. Seen loads of them. Some amazing ones and 1 was the best I have ever seen after watching meteorite showers for years. :-) :-)

When we were about to pack away cos Grandson was very cold, the police came and asked what we were doing!! We were sitting in Deckchairs under blankets with tea and sandwiches. My husband was wearing his "about to break into the bank" balaclava!!! :-D :-D The police joined in watching them! :-D

These are named after my cousin Perseus's sons .. the Perseids... can just see them up there squabbling about who is to be at the front.

They did tell me they could see a floating Island from up there..

Seen about 4 in the short time I have been watching from the attic skylight.

They were roughly north east from this south coast area and high in the sky.

No need for binos. You will know if you see one :-)

For Island.............

Stargazing.

There are 2 blonds sitting on a porch in Kansas looking at the moon.

1 blond says to the other, "which do you think is closer? The moon or Texas?"

The other blond says "duh!Can you see Texas?"
