Should be good fun for those of us that like that sort of thing:

    On my birthday and all! How lovely!!
  • Remember well the total eclipse in Cornwall, August 1999.


    Weird as the street lights came on just before 11 am and the birds started singing.
    You could see the darkness on the western horizon rolling towards you - and then for just 10 minutes it was virtually night.

    In the late morning darkness, people in their gardens cheered and let off fireworks.

    Then it gradually got lighter, the birds started singing again and the street lights switched off, as daylight resumed.

    The thing I remember more than anything was how cold it suddenly got.
