We've been planning to move to the IOW sometime, and since I'm still out of work (saving pennies, hence not much Mudcat activity), we reckon it ought to be in the next 6/12 months. We'd like to try something like letting our current house & renting on the island while we get settled, or maybe I'll go down by myself for a month or several and Sue will follow later. We know the island very well, but mainly from the visitors' perspective.

Here's the important bit ... can anyone recommend places to stay/work/go to folk clubs/any other relevant thing? I'm an IT pro, but I'll happily consider a changeto something less lucrative but as much fun.
