Wish Tower Cafe 3

Here's a view looking west from the bandstand towards The Wish Tower Cafe. I mentioned last week that It's ripe for development. The council have just publicly invited tenders from interested parties - so watch this space!

Bandstand 2

A placid view of the bandstand on the seafront - looking East.

Eastbourne promenade

After a beautiful weekend weatherwise, today is cold rainy and windy! Yesterday was a perfect early spring day - bright and breezy. This is looking towards the Queens Hotel on the promenade, early morning.

Seascape 11

It seems that this week is becoming 'seascape week' At this time of the year I am particularly drawn to interacting with the sea. And painting it.

Seascape 10

Another beautiful day today and another seascape. Calmer sea today and a few impressive swells. 'Surfs up, aboard a tidal wave, come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave. I heard the word, wonderful thing, a Childrens song. Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks - Surfs Up 1967

Wish Tower Cafe

Another very recognizable Eastbourne landmark (though actually you wouldn't know it from THIS image!) and a wonderful location (ripe for sensitive redevelopment) Since posting this there has been publicity about developers being invited to tender for the site.

Seascape 9

A beautiful day today. Spent a while on the seafront and though it's still a little cold the sea looked wonderful. Here we are looking out from the beach at the Wish Tower.
