This was the sky we were faced with, come eclipse time...
So the South East of England, our area, was meant to experience a partial eclipse of the sun today. 85% coverage of the sun would be visible today. The older kids were prepared, they’d made pinhole viewers, colanders were handy, mirrors, all sorts.
…
We got 85% alright… In fact more than 85%… It was 100% cloud coverage!
The little ones were so nonplussed… They couldn’t understand the hype!
But the annoying thing… 3.30pm… Home time, and the most brilliant sunshine with a totally cloudless sky!
Still we watched a live feed from somewhere where they had 100% and the kids saw the actual full Eclipse!
And another natural phenomenon tonight, a Supermoon to see tonight!
Hope the clouds stay away!
But I Smile Anyway...
