It's a wee bit quieter this week, I'm taking a breath now, but tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday 8th August, feel free to join the Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS) for their regular Tuesday walking tour of Hastings Old Town, the "premier ancient Cinque Port." Meet up at 2.30pm by the top of the West Hill lift. The old town has a wealth of historic buildings, twittens and cat-creeps to explore, and you will find out why celebrities of their day, eg the Pre-Raphaelites, flocked to Hastings, indeed, contemporary celebrities still do! A volunteer guide will be leading the walk, which proceeds gently downhill, but, be careful, as there are steps to manage here and there. The walk lasts about 2 hours and is provided free, but the OHPS would be very grateful for all donations given, many thanks, see their website.

It's worth wearing comfortable walking shoes and, as the forecast suggests light rain for most of the day, at least shower-proof clothing/brolly may well be sensible...

Enjoy the afternoon!
