Witchcraft Museum, Boscastle

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'll tack this on here since my threads wither and die very quickly and Dave's a good mate Image

Cream White Room reformed lineup at RAH, sounds and looks great!

I camped in Cornwall to watch the eclipse in 1999 and thought it was absolutely beautiful. I would love another holiday there :notworthy:

Gah! - I wanted to do that...

Instead just sat out in my back garden for a few hours and tried to convince myself it was getting a little darker... :lol: :roll:

It did indeed and it was rather apocalyptic I have to say - but amazing. Everyone needs to experience a total eclipse at some point in their lives. Standing on a hill (St Agnes Beacon to be precise) watching the line of darkness rush towards you over the land and over the sea, then back again :notworthy:

I watched the eclipse from Ilkley Moor. OK, it was only partial from there, but it got to 90%+ totality IIRC. Very groovy.
