Re: Planning to move to the area on retirement

Silvana - I was born and live for most of my years in Plaistow and East Ham!

Alex4art, I'm planning to come down for the day during the second Easter week, and will have a wander around the sea front, and the local area to begin to get a feel of the place.

Roll on two years time.

Re: Planning to move to the area on retirement

Alex, thank you so much for your reply. That is exactly what I thought - why move to the seaside and live streets back from it?!

Re: Planning to move to the area on retirement

Thanks Marina (a very apt name!) - I was thinking of spending some time in Hastings/St Leonards are various times, a few days mid-week a few weekends, at various times over the next 18 months or so to get a feel for the place. It would be a good idea to sell my flat here first and then rent for a wh...
