Oh the frustration – no meteor showers here

14 December 2012 – I got home to La Suffolk profonde after a day in London at about 1.00 am this morning.

Last night was billed as one of the most exciting in the astronomical calendar. Up to 50 meteor showers an hour were reported.

But not if there’s 100% cloud cover. Oh the frustration. And it doesn’t look much better for tonight.
