We're only just back! - but we've also been to Dartmoor and Bideford (just for a concert last night). All good, I thought, and we met Ruth Archer too! And no, the mini melodeon workshop didn't happen, after a communication mixup, but the offer's still on!

One of my highlights at Sidmouth was discovering Last Orders. Others have mentioned them - a young band with a sense of humour. I sat through their set at the Rugby Club with a silly grin on my face all the way though, not to mention actually bursting out in giggles at some points and joining in with spontaneous applause mid-set as the members took jazz-style solos. Utterly delightful and they don't seem to take themselves a bit seriously, but they've obviously worked hard on the music. Heavens knows what they'll be up to in a few years time - watch out for them.
