1999 eclipse
|
We sat, and stood, atop a Cornwallian folly waiting
for the end of the world. Unfortunately, it didn't
happen. It just went dark for a bit and we went
home. Because it was a dull overcast day despite
being the middle of August allegedly the height of
summer, it wasn't that dramatic in fact it was
freezing. Contrast the pic of Plymouth, below -
it's over the water from our mountaintop retreat -
taken the day before, or possibly after, look at
that sunshine!
All in all then, a disappointment and only 189
years till the next one. Like this is the way
the world ends the world ends not with a bang but a
whimper.
