Hello 'Horatio'! Nice to speak to you! Ummm....we haven't met before somewhere have we?! All the lunatics are out 52 weeks a year in Sidmouth My Deario!

Why, just yesterday I happened upon a delightful 'elderly' lady in a shop down in town. She was about 75ish I'd guess and she was talking to her friend, who was looking slightly bemused to say the least!

This lady was immaculately dressed 'Sidmouth Style', posh jersey and perfectly pleated skirt and she had one of the most beautiful wrinkled faces I've ever seen. Deep wrinkles EVERYWHERE and they all turned upwards, (I think she was a secret seered reader!! :0)...) but it was her feet that fascinated me! For on them she wore Sparkling Gold and Leopard Skin Patterned Ankle Boots, which laced up the front and bore a striking resemblance to Doc Martens! Definitely a Folk Fan I reckon!

I was utterly transfixed!! Honestly, I just thought she was the most Exciting Old Lady I've yet encountered in Sidmouth! She was laughing continually and had the biggest 'Twinkle' in her eye ever!!

So I'm off to 'Feathers' in town, to get myself a pair of said Ankle Boots to wear at Folk Week! I shall have to think carefully what to wear with them of course, but at least I've still a few months to think about it!

Oh and Horatio sweetie, with a name like yours, you've just GOT to come next year! I expect there are quite a few Whistleblowers in Sidmouth, maybe we could track your family for you! After all, Horatio is a Sea-Going Name.

Kiss me Hardy! (Hmmm....No perhaps we'll just leave that bit out!!)
