Are your streetlights on?

[Zingari]

When I first left Leicester to come to France I lived in a very rural area. The contrast between light and dark was amazing. However it's rare to have a completely dark night where you can see nothing. Even when there are clouds obscuring the stars and moon your eyes adjust so that you can see.

Living in a city like Leicester you really have no idea about the number of stars in the sky.

how many are there ?

Yeah, too much light pollution in England to actually see the stars. It looks so different at night in France (I tend to go to the more rural areas too).
