Total solar eclipse 2024 highlights: Rare phenomenon darkened North America’s skies

I can remember the Solar eclipse here in England. It was a very eerie feeling. My eldest daughter and I were in the garden at the time and she burst into tears. I can remember trying to console her.
Me Frances Rose Agnes Napper A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking all or part of the sun’s light. This happens when the three celestial bodies are aligned in a straight line. During a total solar eclipse, the sun is completely obscured, turning day into darkness for a brief period. It’s a captivating phenomenon where the sun’s corona, its outer atmosphere, becomes visible as a faint halo around the moon. Partial solar eclipses occur when only a portion of the sun is obscured by the moon. Viewing a solar eclipse directly without proper eye protection can cause permanent eye damage, so it’s important to use special glasses or indirect viewing methods to safely observe the event.

Calico 
I met this nice ‘real life” Sherrif at Calico. He showed me his pistol. 
Here I am…. up in the helicopter.

The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic suspension bridge located in San Francisco, California. It spans the Golden Gate Strait, the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The bridge is characterized by its distinctive orange colour and Art Deco design. It’s one of the most photographed bridges in the world and a symbol of San Francisco. It was fabulous to see the bridge in real life. I stood on a huge block to capture this photograph. Lol the coach driver was not happy with me as I couldn’t jump of the block in a hurry and everyone was waiting for me. 🙂

Las Vegas -
I love to visit London occasionally. It is like stepping into a living museum where history meets modernity. You can stroll along the Thames, marvel at iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Tower Bridge, explore world-class museums like the British Museum, and indulge in diverse cuisines from around the globe. The city’s vibrant energy, rich culture, and architectural wonders make it an unforgettable experience for any traveller.
My siblings went to live in London, soon after they left full-time education, however, I have always remained close to where my parents live, within 14 miles of my home town, in Stamford.
