In 1966 the Council declared that the 14th October would be 'HASTINGS DAY' to mark the Battle of Hastings 1066. By the 1980s it had become a week long celebration of community based events culminating in a spectacular Torchlight Procession, bonfire and fireworks display. Hasting's 'Green areas' are open to all during the week. The Rangers and Hastings Museum organised a family event in Summerfields Woods; making environmental art and learning about the wildlife and history of the woods. I made the owl, Chris made the Green Man and Brendan age 4 made The Creature. Woodland sculpture by Joc Hare.
I'm an artist, illustrator, gardener, crafter and mum to a six year old. I live in the beautiful seaside town of Hastings on the South Coast of England. I love thrifting, swimming in the sea, cycling, upcycling, exploring and documenting the natural world.
