in view of today’s eclipse I thought it worth mentioning the final paragraphs of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Unnatural Death (one of the recommended reads for the conference) which concludes with Lord Peter Wimsey emerging into the  June morning to witness an eclipse. This makes the date 29th June 1927 as this was the date on which a total eclipse could  be observed in London.
