The bad weather that started before Christmas has continued into the new year. In Hastings there were warnings that the strong winds and a super high tide would threaten to push the sea over the flood defences. That didn’t happen during the short time I was there. It certainly was rough, although it’s been worse.

There were plenty of people there enjoying the show. I made sure I stayed where it was dry. Not only did I not want to get soaked, the waves throw up fair size pebbles when they hit the wall.

I felt obliged to take a photo of the Pier. The rain cloud above it was fast closing in. This January storm has brought with it some extremely heavy showers. I didn’t stay much longer after I saw that approaching.
