We stayed there for a week in one of the houses in the village. The public were kicked out at 5pm and then us and the other residents had it to our selves. It was much spookier then when it was almost deserted,
It's funny how many of us were down in Cornwall! However, like Sean in Port Meirion, we'd gone down for a week camping round Land's End with friends and family. Very different experience, but it was definitely spooky and magical event.
From the line-up at Grant's birthday celebration, I imagine there were a few interesting tales told that evening! Loved this account of your eclipse-trip. My favourite line from the video has to be "Like having Aleister Crowley staying in your spare room." Probably needed a psychic detox...
I enjoyed your recounting of the trip. My own experience with a total eclipse (a couple of decades ago) ended up being a near-fatal car crash in Mexico. This was also a reminder to me to queue up some of Grant Morrison's work for re-reading.

I saw this eclipse in Port Meirion and sent Grant a postcard from there as I knew he was into the Prisoner!

What a great story - genuinely laughed out loud at the image of Grant Morrison knocking on doors and terrifying the locals!
