A Bank Holiday Seafront Wander

Living close to sea level means that many of us have to walk uphill to reach many of our destinations, unless we walk along the seafront 😉 At Bulverhythe.

The Azur/St Leonards beach huts have returned from their winter retreat (blog).

Hastings diminishing beach-launched fishing fleet; I've written about Hastings fishing industry a number of times, eg blog.

At Rock-a-Nore with very green water; I'm guessing due to algae... 

Indeed, it was a very pleasant walk this morning, cheers folks!

I told you so!

OK, not big news, but I did suggest yesterday (blog) that the Azur/St Leonards beach huts were returning from their winter retreat at Bulverhythe, well there 6 of them are! This was this morning, so I carried on up to Bulverhythe and guess what I saw?

Well the lorry with its wee crane, you can just see in the first photograph, arrived as I did at Bulverhythe, here they are picking up the seventh beach hut, then another one, and only two left, when I left the scene. So they're arriving two by two at St Leonards, no doubt all already there before I wrote this (I did have a pint at the White Rock Hotel on my way home, cheers!).

And no idea why the toilets there aren't open, they weren't open the other day I passed by either, what's going on Hastings Borough Council, waiting for April the 1st?

Beach Huts leave their winter refuge...

Okay, in retrospect, maybe I should have been aware a wee bit earlier, but I only noticed whilst walking by the public toilets near Bulverhythe, ie the winter refuge for the St Leonards/Azur beach huts, which were now missing!

Wondering if I had missed them earlier as I had been walking along the upper promenade, or whether they had been taken away to carry out some work on them, on my way back I found they had been placed back in their summer position... It was confirmed by a local dog walker that they had been here for a few days, so I had missed them earlier in the morning, however, another sign that summer is on the way, a bit like primroses 😎
