Stranger On The Shore (Hastings & St Leonards)
Рет қаралды 9,439
4 жыл бұрынI made this film when I first moved to St Leonards-on-Sea, and fell in love with the place. It's a hymn to its eccentric, down-at-heel charms. I made it with Maxy Bianco, with a soundtrack generously provided by Andrew Weatherall and Nina Walsh, and also the banjo player who lived on the street corner.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much I`m an old lady now born here in Hastings living in St Leonards and unfortunately housebound, so this did my heart good.

Very, very lovely. Excellent little film and I enjoyed the John Cooper Clark style narration too. Loved the reference to sometimes looking like you're "living in a dream" Well done!

Indeed. I went to Hastings in 1996-1997 on my English language academic year and then I lived in Bexhill with my first bf, and despite of me now living in Suffolk, I will always return to my first home of Hastings, at least 3 times a year. Can't wait to go back next week

I was looking for Jean Smith and found this. There is something about the light on the sea in Hastings. You captured it briefly in the view down the hill to the sparkling ocean. Once born by the ocean, you always come back, and stay as long as you can.

Michael, you need to do many more of these, melancholy Mesmer. You are rather jolly good at this and you also seem to have found Crowley's exorcist steps 09:55. More please.

RE: Crowley curse... take a pebble from the beach and break the curse. If you can call it that! I think it's a magical place.
@Motorhawk2 3 жыл бұрын
People also used to say you had to kiss the winkle on winkle island to break the curse.

Not just a pebble. It has to be a hag stone. A stone with a hole through the middle.

@JennyHakenCopywriter Жыл бұрын
It's called George Street. It runs parallel to the coast road at the east end of Hastings.
@michaelsmith-wr4tq 9 ай бұрын
it runs behind the library and the Observer Building but is not used that often - though they do nice one offs at festivals, exhibitions and so on
