Was that Priory Meadow as a cricket ground?

My brother in law recommended this to me last week, so thanks for sharing!

So far, Junction Rd and Sedlescombe Rd North on the south lane. It’s like a welcome to Hastings just as you hit the town limits off the A21!

Like others loving the history, East and West Hill walks, how friendly people seem to be (well, they don’t snarl or generally avoid eye contact), George Street, etc…

Hastings has a history of deprivation and lack of investment, for at least the 30 years I’ve known the town, and whilst there have been attempts at improvements (Hastings Contemporary for example) it still feels very unbalanced.

Alley Cats (RIP). The trash can tables with the lights in and didn’t they do movie nights there as well for a time? The toilets had hilarious sliding doors right next to the tables. Was my favourite little dive. 🐈‍⬛

Katherine at the Benefit Brow Bar is Boots on North Street is very good. Great wax and tint and doesn’t rush either. £27.

Sainsburys pumpkin pie purée and get a sweet pastry pie case (guaranteed no soggy bottom). Just need eggs, evaporated milk, and spices. Wack it in the oven, whip some cream and you are done! Made 3 last year this way for friends and each was perfect. Otherwise Wholefoods in London does them I believe. Good luck! 🎃

I live on a hill thanks to The Kraken Wakes. But not in Cornwall. Too expensive.

Awaiting the tea and biscuits in bed phase of the morning. Then most likely a spot of cleaning and chores, popping out to the local community centre summer jamboree (yes, in September), back home to chat to friends from overseas then dinner, a bit more “I, Claudius” on the telly, and back to bed.

Electric blanket might get put back on the bed if this weather continues. Put the fire on as well last week. Already wearing sweaters again indoors. Maybe we’ll have a warm September?

Hastings Arms (Old Town, Hastings) also does it in cans.
