This past week it has been possible to observe the Lyrid meteor shower. Unfortunately there was too much light where I live to see it so I wasn’t able to get any photos.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
