Colyford Garage
This garage and petrol filling station is on the main A3052 between Sidmouth and Seaton.
It only ceased selling petrol around 2000.
It had links with Lawrence of Arabia - who lived nearby and often refuelled his motorcycle here. It is now a motor museum.

Woollies is Closing Down
I went to Sidmouth today to look in the sales. It was sad to see Woolworths full of customers scrabbling for last minute bargains. A closing down sale with signs that "Everything must Go", including the shop fittings. I don't require or want any shop fittings so I didn't venture inside.
Sidmouth also has a small knit ware shop called Woollies. That also is to close. I wonder how many other stores will shut up shop before this depression is over.
I hope the small individual shops will remain. I will do my best by spreading my money around and continuing to avoid the small Tesco Express store. This Dairy Shop is where I always direct my visitors. So that they can post cream home to friends and family.

Sidmouth Roads
Driving around Sidmouth old town can be tricky. The roads are narrow. Tradesmen often have to park outside a cottage leaving very little room for cars to pass them.
It can be particularly awkward round a corner or bend when you often find your way forward blocked by an oncoming car. One has to be prepared to do a great deal of reversing.
City folk driving large SUVs or posh city 4x4 often find negotiating small tight spots very tricky. It seems to me they'd prefer to drive right over you rather than reverse at all.
