#HastingsBattleaxe visits some of the Coastal Currents Festival Open Studios. Here are some lovely flowers at the Crown. Visited local artists Dominic Zwemmer, and the excellent leigh Dyer, to whom we donated the Family Fly-press way back in 2012.

#HastingsBattleaxe went to #Bristol last weekend. Photo is of river walk near the Snuff Mills. At home, had time to look at a few more #Hastings loos. Horrified at the state of our poor Pier.

Seal
#HastingsBattleaxe gets on with more things - writing, dentists, bluebells, more loos, animals... this #seal looks cuddly, but was he?

#HastingsBattleaxe has been very busy... two trips to London, a trip to meet my book cover designer in Brighton, more loo surveying... here's a very dodgy product from the Taj supermarket in #Brighton...

The Ladies loo at The Ritz, London
By popular request, #HastingsBattleaxe embarks on the Great Loo Survey of #Hastings and #StLeonards... First, I don’t care who uses the loos I am in provided they keep to themselves. There are no loos this round here. This is the Ritz, in London.

#HastingsBattleaxe is on the political warpath again - this time about the plans for #Sussex #Devolution. #Hastings is struggling, feels forgotten already. How can devolution help us?

When I first joined here I put FBPE on my profile and got a pile of followers I don’t really want… it is much better to have quality rather than quantity. Fewer followers equals more interaction. However, I do like getting more readers for my #HastingsBattleaxe blog!
#HastingsBattleaxe enjoys a trip to London and a chilly walk in #StLeonard’s. This is St Leonard’s Gardens, laid out by Decimus Burton www.hastingsbattleaxe.com/2025/02/hast...
Snowdrops
#HastingsBattleaxe meets her nieces, learns about London Livery Companies, goes to #Charleston.

I have much resolve (after all, I am the #HastingsBattleaxe) but too little time. The Leaders of the Great Powers need to be mobilised but I have to go to Aldi and get some Valentine’s Day heart-shaped pink bao buns for my beloved… (note, not dumplings)
#HastingsBattleaxe hasn’t been feeling very enthusiastic about life, but enjoyed the Letiza Battaglia exhibition about 70’s life in Sicily at the #PhotographersGallery. A very brave woman. www.hastingsbattleaxe.com/2025/02/batt...
#HastingsBattleaxe reports back on her trip to #Malaga, including a very cold day in #Ronda.

Happy Christmas from #HastingsBattleaxe. Here’s Jayne Mansfield pretending to decorate her Christmas tree in a very unsuitable dress. More in the blog post.

#HastingsBattleaxe is at it again, with some good news and some very disappointing news. But Battleaxe is gearing up for Christmas, watching #Strictly on a rare quiet night at home.

#HastingsBattleaxe poses in her deeply flattering all-over waterproofs at Mallydams, and does a spot of pre-Christmas curating.

#HastingsBattleaxe goes to London twice in one week. Loves the art in the #CourtauldGallery. Look at this radiant Monet. www.hastingsbattleaxe.com/2024/11/hast...
Am suddenly getting hundreds of new followers. Many arriving via the #FBPE route. It is a bit overwhelming… I like to look into each one before deciding to follow back. People with no posts of their own, just reposts, don’t get followed. But welcome all of you to #HastingsBattleaxe world!
Badger on
#HastingsBattleaxe reflects on the past week. Here’s a lovely badger patient at Mallydams. www.hastingsbattleaxe.com/2024/11/and-...
I’m pretty aged, I live loads of life, I have been known to be friendly - and I write a blog…. #HastingsBattleaxe
#HastingsBattleaxe has had a bad week - missed first #seal release of the year from Mallydams because of bad back, clocks went back, had Covid jab. @dailyseals.bsky.social
