So sang Bob Dylan on 'Shooting Star' from the album 'Oh Mercy'.
Well on Wednesday night I was even more fortunate. The annual Perseid meteor shower which took place this week provided a great end to my first day under the clear star-filled skies of the Yorkshire Dales. At about 11.30 PM I was fortunate enough to witness four shooting stars in the space of as many minutes. Absolutely fantastic!
But that was only one of the highlights of three days spent in the company of a good friend and ex work colleague. Living in different parts of the country, we hadn't seen each other for far too long and there was much catching up to do.
Among all the chatter was an opportunity for a fine 10 mile walk in glorious countryside as this shot of Wensleydale from near the market town of Leyburn will testify.
Having enjoyed good craic, sunshine, walking, good food and company, fine music, plenty of laughs and of course shooting stars, we certainly won't be leaving it as long until our next reunion.
