When you gaze up to see the stars, you can get lost in the marvel that is space. Doing so is something I’ve always enjoyed, from the army childhood of camping out at the weekend and lying comfy in a sleeping bag and watching the stars above. We used to look for satellites.

It’s Summer – Day 20
It’s the 20th day of the summer holidays and tonight I saw the greatest shooting star that I’ve ever seen before.
