LTS,

Southwold, is magical.
The people are wonderfully interesting, nice, 'real' characters and are almost constantly happy.
Southwold itself is absolutely gorgeous! beautiful beaches,harbours,pubs and shops.And not a fucking McDonalds in sight, in fact the only bit of capitalism you can find is the ASDA or something in the town, most are locally run businesses offering quality products.
To cut the crap short, its a brilliant town, and a place that will always be in my heart thanks to Alex Goldsmith, John Barber, Gus Kitson, Lenny Whiting and Co. For anyone wanting to take their folkie kids to as a quiet place to chill out and enjoy the music then go, but be warned, if loads of you go it will be ruined, dont turn up wanting a nice welcoming pub with efficient staff, in fact dont turn up wanting anything, just enjoy their way of life their way and keep it their way.

Sorry for ranting, but next to South Zeal, Southwold is one of my favourite places.
