My husband and I have just come back from the best fun fete we have ever attended – and it was all without the aid of technology.

We laughed ourselves silly at the human fruit machine, backward-bull fighting and even got involved in the international horse race although only managed last place. There were delicious crepes and lovely crafts, the daftest games and brilliant silent auction items.

I hope it raised a huge amount of money as a result. The Sidmouth Scouts deserve their new hut; they are a great bunch.
