mummy! it's got a nibble out of it!

Another good reason for having children. Eclipses are more fun.

We were shrieking around for a bit in the garden and then out on to the top of a hill for a more surreal view. What fun. They didn't really "get" how odd the landscape becomes in that strange watery eclipse sunlight, but they liked the way the sun suddenly started looking like a crescent moon made out of cheese.
