Keith's Ramblings

For Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

.

Five miles along the coast from me is the town of Hastings. It has a sizable fleet of fishing boats, and yesterday morning I took a stroll among them before they headed out to sea. Hastings doesn’t have a harbour, instead the boats are hauled up and down the beach.

        It’s been a while for us now and no reason since Mum died as I have no contact with family there.

      St Leonards is a couple of miles from me – I’m off there soon to my local Aldi!

      A few years ago I photographed them covered in snow. It looked very different!

    What beautiful pictures, Keith. And talk about back-breaking work to haul those boats up and out of the water!

    Why are old rusty, falling apart boats, so appealing to take photos of? I also particularly love the photo of the brown wooden boat. So lovely.

      Fortunately they have machines to help them!

      I agree about the abandoned boats, they are quite arty! I’m not sure if the brown boat still floats, but is very handsome.

    Great shots of fishing boats and the town. I want to have fish and chips and a pint or two.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

    Lovely photos. What is the building in several photos from #14 onwards with two towers and an arch? I see freshly caught halibut for sale. My favourite fish but not widely available here.

      That’s the West Hill Lift’s drop-off point. It’s the steepest funicular railway in the world and still uses the original carriages dating back 1891. At the top is a country park with incredible views, a castle and smuggler’s caves!

      If I could send you some halibut, I would!

    This is something out of a story book for me. How charming!! It doesn’t look real.
