you are so right about the charm of Cape May,the other thing I love about it (being English) is that few English tourists find it,and it is so unspoilt.We go there when we visit Billys folks in Pennsauken and one sister has a beach house at Wildwood.You are right about so little time , we have not been back to the states for thanksgiving for two years.Have   not been to Sidmouth for 15 years but have just booked to go this summer and 6 of my cousins are booked into the same pub,Hope they have a big table for our family reunion.The main reason for going is that I promised Dave Bryant I would join in with the middle bar singers singing "The leaf" (whats the life of a man) in his memory.Now there was a harmony singer!
