Moon Eclipse 16 June 2011

We decided to go and wake our little rose Sir N up so he could come outside and see the eclipse of the moon with us.  I am so pleased we did because the other day he was asking us whether the sun ever stopped touching the moon ?

 We used a torch, earth globe and a golf ball for the moon !
