In the very early hours of Sunday morning I got out of bed, pulled a jumper and my dressing gown on top of my nightie, put long socks and slippers on, donned my husband's big gardening jacket and his beanie, grabbed a cup of coffee and ventured out into the night. I took my dog in the car through the silent lanes and climbed through brambles that wrenched at my nightie to the highest point in our local country park where I sat all alone and frost frozen on a bench and gazed upwards for the next 90 minutes.
No-one saw me, which was a relief, but I saw 5, yes 5 falling stars. Y'know, that's the best pre-dawn thrill I've had in donkey's years <gg>

It was estimated that between 10 and 100 would fall every hour but they're very very quick, one or two seconds and they're gone. Anyway, 5 is the most I've ever seen on one night, so I was thrilled. My husband was peed off because before he could get out of bed he'd fallen asleep again, so he missed it all.
I remember when you saw those last year and I was in awe, I've never seen them but if they were anywhere near me I do what you do and relish in it :) Rache
