Walking along the Seafront, Where's the Snow?

What a difference a day or two makes, another walk along the seafront yesterday, but the snow has mostly disappeared since Friday; see my blog from earlier in the week if you haven't already got bored with photographs of snow! Me, standing on Hastings Pier and looking eastwards, obviously... 😉

Flags on the Pier: Top Left, William the Conqueror (familiarly known at the time as William the Bastard); Bottom Left, Harold Godwinson (runner up at Battle of Hastings); Bottom Right, the Sussex Flag (Martlets); Top Right, the Welsh Flag which was raised on 1st March (St David's Day) to replace the flag of Harald Hardrada, who was runner up, and died, at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Many thanks to Peter Wheeler and Steve Wilkins for explaining the significance of the flags, cheers!

Beach Huts & Pier

I've missed this for ages, and only found it yesterday, this 'montage' when I walked around to the sea side, and back of, the newer refreshment kiosk on the Upper Promenade between the Pier and Warrior Square, gulls, venues and local musicians, notably Liane Carroll can be seen through the 'window' of the Jenny Lind!

Palace Court

Looking up at the West Hill and the first stone castle built by the Normans in Britain, Hastings Castle (previous blog), with the wonderful, nearly 200 years old, St Mary in the Castle (previous blog, and the lease has since been passed to the Trust) and Pelham Crescent below.

Looking across at the Fishermen's Beach, with the East Hill and Hastings Country Park Local Nature Reserve in the background (website).

Walking through to Rock-a-Nore Road and I couldn't miss taking another photograph of this, very often photographed, retired fishing boat, RX134 Stacie Marie (see blog); seriously, I've seen her photographed and filmed too many times to mention!

So, what do you do next, well, I was thirsty, so popped I into the Cinque Ports Arms in All Saints Street (facebook page), civil discourse, ale and a great value sandwich!
