Knock out a tile or two from the attic.

Clear as a bell here, but a bit parky too (1.5C). Perhaps I'm optimistic but not seen anything yet....have also resisted removing yet more slates from my roof to get a better, more comfortable view...

Think it's a bit early yet Pete.

I think I've been incredibly lucky. I stood outside for five minutes and after my eyes got used to the darkness (don't forget we have very little light pollution here) I saw about half a dozen meteors. Some really brief flashes, others a little longer.....

I've seen about 8 tonight (including two together) while out in the garden taking some photos of my christmas lights. Didn't manage to get any in the shots though. A very clear still night in South Bucks.

Saw a couple myself just an hour ago, but too cold to stand outside for long, again no photos

I saw one about 11.30 pm and then the clouds rolled in. Typical British weather.
