So Steve said " Hmmm but can you dance Lizzie? (or something like that anyway!!!)"

Steve! Can I DANCE? I'm starting to OYSTER DANCE!! Hands Above Your Head Dancing! Swaying! Jumping! Rocking! Shouting! Joyous Kind of Gypsy Dancing! Wild!!   Not only have I discovered Show of Hands but I've discovered The Oysterband too!!! Whooo!

How can a person have SO MUCH luck in one lifetime AND get to live in Beautiful Sidmouth! Home of the Best Folk Festival in The World!

It's a Truly Beautiful day down here in Sidmouth, the sun is sparkling on the sea, (sorry guys if this is making you fed up!)
The Arena is drying out nicely after the rain, and in just 7/8 months I will be sitting down on the grass singing Show of Hands 'Country Life' at the top of my voice....And CROOKED MAN...Oh Wow! Seriously brilliant song!!! Just listen to this:

"There was a Crooked Man with a Crooked Smile,
He made his plans and walked a Crooked Mile,
He went to live in the big house,
Then started fires no one could douse.
He fanned the flames and he poured on oil,
Till the desert burned and the ocean bolied,
At night in the darkness of his room,
The Crooked Man danced to another's tune.    !!!!!!!! :-) Wow!

And THAT's just the First Verse!!!! Very appropriate song for Tony and George!

?????????Why does The Department of Culture pour money into Casinos but will give NOTHING towards our FOLK FESTIVALS?????????? Apparently has to keep at 'Arm's Length' from any such decision!! Are they at 'Arm's Length' from Casinos?? Tessa Jowell seems to be lying across the tables!!! I'm puzzled!


Well...I'm just off to look at The Sidmouth Fiddler,(I think we should have a statue of STEVE HEAP in Connaught Gardens as well, because we owe him SO much!)

Then I'm going to dip my toes in the sea and imagine my town Alive with All Of You!!! And Dream that maybe, just maybe The Oysterband can come as well!!! Show of Hands AND Those Oysters.......just the thought is too much!!!!

Lizzie :-)
