A Big (ish) Wheel in Hastings!

So, a Ferris Wheel has arrived in Hastings, here poking out in a wee bit of fog this morning; though I have seen a film of it working at night (many thanks to Sid Saunders for allowing me to link to his film on facebook, cheers!) and it looks fun. Apparently a few local residents have been upset, we'll have to see how it develops. 

The wheel is just on the beach, in front of Flamingo Park, by the Go-Carts...

Fat Tuesday, and more photographs.

So Fat Tuesday is here, and a gorgeous day it is too, I took this photograph, looking down Rock-a-Nore, at lunchtime, with cars still arriving; as you can see them heading towards the car park behind the Aquarium and museums. Blue sky, Mardi Gras, half-term, and it all comes together for a very busy Tuesday in Hastings!  

Also, I trawled facebook for more photographs from Sunday, so many thanks to the Hastings Old Town Traders page, Sarah Owen, Maxine Simmonds for an artistic impression of the Umbrella Parade, and Sid Saunders...

Anyway, enjoy your day, whatever you end up doing, even if only pancake tossing... the Fat Tuesday music continues, and a bit more of something unconventional, apparently, is happening at St Mary in the Castle (website), cheers!
