Don't bother in the South, we apparently will have cloud cover yet again!! :'( :'( :'( :'(

Sat in a friends garden last year watching this particular shower and it was as impressive as ever :D :D :D  So enjoy it in the North 8-) 8-)

I went out last night. You could see the stars although it was kind of misty.  Saw one meteor in about 5 minutes.  I have seen them before and very impressive - but much better when viewed from a place with little ambient light.

It was overcast here, which is a shame as I love to go see them if I can. I always remember my dad waking me up when on a caravan holiday at Brean to go see them :y
