The non-Eclipse of 1999
I say non-Eclipse of 1999, as despite being at the centre of it, I saw nothing, as it was overcast. At least it wasn’t raining, as we were in the middle of a ploughed field, when it went totally dark.
Hotel Mercure, Peronne-Assevillers
This is where I stayed on that trip and also where I stayed on Tuesday night. It hasn’t changed much, but then it is almost the only hotel actually on the motorway between Lille and Paris.
I still intend to see an eclipse of the sun.
