It will be visible from my house! I'm very excited. It will be my first time seeing a total solar eclipse.

I caught the one in '17 and it was definitely a top 5 moment in my life.

I drove all the way from Edinburgh to Cornwall to watch one back in the 90s, and it was worth it, even though it was cloudy and I had slept in my car next to a field. At 11am the light dimmed and dimmed, and then suddenly whoosh, it went dark. All along the coast you could see camera flashes going off - I have no clue what people were taking photos of, "The Moment" I guess.
