A few scenes from a blustery Hastings

From the top of East Cliff wild seas looking towards St Leonards

Various bits and pieces in Hastings that have caught my eye today.

A waving Queen for £2.99 .....

Hastings Old Town with the famous fish huts

Brilliantly fresh fish for sale

High winds and rough seas

Despite or because of the seas surfers in action

What's left of the harbour wall

Views from the top of East Hill
