It's exciting but l don't think l am likely to see much of it because l live in the East Midlands. I think the best chances, as in 1999, are in the south-west. In 1999, we were on holiday and on Sheringham beach in North Norfolk with our very small children. At around 11.00, a small, dark cloud appeared in the otherwise cloudless blue sky for about ten seconds. It was a few minutes later when we realised that this must have been the eclipse. We were too far north and too far east to see any more of it. On the other hand, I recall that people were paying thousands of pounds in order to stay in Devon and Cornwall to see the eclipse.
