Hi Red! I am glad you enjoyed the photos, and if you want to post them no problem here. We were in the U.K. three weeks, only one night in Sidmouth as we were on the way to Torquay for a few days. We had great weather, especially in the North! The only rain we saw in three weeks was our last night, the heavens opened on Babbacome Downs. We thought of you while down there, the thatching in the photos was being done at a building opposite 'your' hotel in Sidmouth. Thank you for your address, and thank you E for receiving and the kind words.
