It is strange to read some of the comments - although I was in Sidmouth for the whole week in 05 I was rushing from one place to another and having the best time ever, and did not have to pay to get in anywhere.

I supose everyone has their own folk week and they are all different.

This time it seems I have to try to fit in making Border Morris tatters and getting a kilt finished in my spare time. (I have spare time? Thats news to me.)

At least the man I spoke to at the Rugby club offered to let me plug my CPAP machine into their mains at the club house this year. Maybe they were worried about finding I had expired during the week - I have sleep apnoea and the machine keeps an airway open for me. I can use an inverter and car battery for a weekend, but a week is pushing it.
One less thing to worry about.
Missing Sidmouth due to untimely death is not on my list of things to do.
