Wow! Reading this stuff gets confusing. I live in Texas, USA. I gather Sidmouth is across the water? Wish I could spend time there. Those who complained about the heat may not have enough extreme heat experience to judge. (I understand there are places where it is hotter than Central Texas in the summer. I plan to carefully, deliberately avoid such places.) Festivals are fun places if you have any interest in the theme. Wish I could travel.
