Wandering in Hastings: Improvements & Closure...

Maybe not the most inspiring of images to begin with, but I use this to cut through many times a week, in either direction, by the Priory Meadow garage entrance... But on the left as you can see in this photograph, is a footpath where, until very recently, you had to crouch to use, there was so much overhanging vegetation. Well, it's clear now, and I'm very happy, thank you very much whoever did the work, nice one! 👍


I noticed this very well balanced photograph and thought it was so good I had to include it, indeed, share the news that goes with it! The image is from their facebook page, where they inform us that they had to change their name to Calvers Italian Bar & Kitchen 'due to a trademark issue.' If you're not sure where this is, and most will know, it is on the corner opposite the roundabout with a fountain, Iceland, and the beach.😎


Oh yes, and I wanted to get a walk in today before the rain came down, so I spent a while wandering along the seafront earlier. Anyway, on my way back I passed O.W.E.N.S which has closed down due to 'health and safety issues' (sussexexpress/Sussex World). Though the Council says it has nowt to do with them, I wonder what is going on, or what went on, hmmm, stroky chin time... 😒

Busy Busy Busy!

Outside Looking In

I have to admit, I'll never pay £6 to go into the Seafood & Wine Festival, nor for any beer festival for that matter (blog), but it was very busy when I passed by earlier, and the queue to get in was, surprisingly, longer than I thought it would be! Hmmm 😏

Enjoy the weekend folks! 👍

Thankfully it's just hot air, Climate Change is a Hoax, isn't it?


This photograph was taken an hour ago looking up at Hastings St Mary in the Castle (blog), still no new news there yet! Well, we're into the Indian Summer which we seem to have more and more of over the years, good old September, and the month of certain people's birthdays. 😉 Today is meant to be the hottest day of the year in Britain (BBC), and it's certainly hot, but the temperature will be hotter in other parts of the country I imagine (Met Office). So, we had the 40 days of rain recently, many thanks St Swithin (Historic UK), now we have, quite frankly, another freaky weather situation...


But have no fear, ignore the experts, as the nutjobs of the right-wing keep asserting, ignore 'experts' over Science, the NHS, Brexit, Climate Change, whatever, indeed, Climate Change is a "hoax" if you listen to the non-experts (Forbes - Trump). But, it appears to me that things are a wee bit strange, and I do tend to listen to 'experts' in their field of expertise, for example, I went to a NHS Medical Consultant about my cataracts, and I'd go to an electrician if I needed my home re-wired. So, rather than listen to ideological right-wing bampots, I look to scientists and appropriate 'experts' concerning nature, and about the realities and myths of Climate Change (WWF).

It's not a hoax! 😟
