Was on 11/12/13th August.

We sat out on the night of the 12th and 13th and watched 'em. probably one 'shooting star' every minute or so.

Not an amazing lightshow or anything, but it captured the kids' imagination for an hour or two each night.

Also seen were (According to Sam..little Sam not 'Sam'):

USAF Jet fighters x 4 from the nearly Yank base

Satellites x 5

Couple of helicopters

Loads of Stars (funnily enough)

The glow from Ely, Newmarket and Cambridge in the sky

Well that was Sam's list anyways.

Sunday 2.30ish wandered down the garden, nothing spectacular cept the quantity/regularity.
Glanced out a couple of hours later and saw a couple of really spectacular ones.

Kept popping outside for a look but obviously not at the right moments!

Spent some time lying down in a field very early on Sun am and saw a few. Also saw one very bright satellite or similar. Is there a space station visible?

I remember a few years ago seeing Mia go overhead once advised where and when to look by the media. Got rather excited

Saw it last year, couldn't be arsed this one.

Its actually at its best viewed from southern europe
