Well, how was it for you, then?

　 More than a million people watched the eclipse(日食)in Cornwall, in Southwestern Britain, and although they all gazed up at the same sky they had vastly different experiences.

　 Some were lucky, and the clouds broke just in time for them to see the full wonder of it all; some just stared at the clouds. Some said the disappointment was so great it ruined their holiday.

　 Few can have been as disappointed as Peter Meadows. The gardener from Enfield spent seven years planning a trip to catch the phenomenon in person but ended up 10 miles from the right spot.

　 Mr Meadows, 31, who waited to see the eclipse in Falmouth when it was visible from the nearly Lizard peninsula(半岛), said: “I fell almost sick with a sense of sudden failure. To have got so close to see this wonderful event with my own eyes and to have just missed out is so disappointing. It ruined my holiday and I will go home with a black cloud hanging over me.”

　 Rory Coleman, 37, a director of a research institute from Stratford-upon-Avon, had made more effort than most to get there; he had run all the way from john O’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for Help the Aged. “I’d waited over thirty years to see it,” he said, “But it was not like what I had dreamed.”

　 “I did think it was strange—the fact that it went dark so quickly and was cold. I thought it would be completely black, like in the middle of the night, but it wasn’t.”

　 Bill Kambo, 38, from Ashford in Middlesex, flew down to Land End in his friend’s helicopter—and has caught the bug.

　 He said: “At the beginning I was disappointed with all the clouds over. But when the darkness came you could hear all the seagulls going wild. I’m surely an eclipse follower from now on.”
