My friend bought a parasol for a garden party in the little shops, we rode up the cable car for a historic view and it was fine enough to eat our fish and chips on the beach.

Not sure if living to work - working to live is on a pun fest but I can say the Hastings is a town with a massive heart and soul - it's that and the sole which drew The Jerwood to us (not the other way round) :-))Red Hot Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648782685395225313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912052734076308569.post-41826843528490805922015-05-12T06:43:59.470-07:002015-05-12T06:43:59.470-07:00Hastings had plenty of soul long before the Jerwoo...Hastings had plenty of soul long before the Jerwood was built. It has a thriving eclectic art and music community and popular events such as Jack In The Green, Old Town Week and Hastings Bonfire that draw people in their tens of thousands. All this plus the beautiful surrounding countryside have given Hastings a heart and soul that has made many a visitor become a resident. I have spent many years photographing Hastings events, if you take a look at my photos you can see for yourself what an amazing place this is.<br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/metaphormosis/albumsMark Duncanhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/metaphormosis/albumsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912052734076308569.post-11839432782029956582015-05-12T01:08:00.915-07:002015-05-12T01:08:00.915-07:00Hastings was a great surprise for us too when we m...Hastings was a great surprise for us too when we made a brief visit in 2012, but I wish we'd known about the Beacon Arts Centre, it sounds like a very lively organisation! Just read your post on Dungeness too and agree with your perceptions of this being a wonderfully curious place! It was after a holiday in this area that I discovered your thoroughly enjoyable blog while reading up on the artists whose work we already knew and loved (one reason for the visit was to go to the Jerwood and Towner galleries). My own responses to Hastings, Dungeness and other spots in SE England are included here https://lizmilner.wordpress.com/2015/01/06/placescape-1-southern-england/. More recently we went to the Ravillious exhibition at The Dulwich, a great show, congratulations!

I love the place. <br /><br />That sounded like a fabulous lecture too. Are you coming to Milton Keynes any time soon?
