Well from here in North Cornwall I got to see a small part of it. A small bite out of the Solar dial at about 7-O-clock. Just visible between layers of clouds on the seaward horizon, so dulled that I could look at it through binoculars, which normally would be an absolute NONO.

A nearby black cat was interested in something going on in the hedge, and after a while it gave me the evil eye which caused the Sun to hide behind the cloud, or so it seemed to me. So I left him to it, I figure some hedge bound creature was about to be eclipsed forever.
