@Knowledgepoint I lived on Zenoria Street, just off Lordship Lane when I was 4 years old. On my 5th birthday I remember getting Enid Blyton's wonderful book 'The Magic Faraway Tree' as a gift. But I never knew she was born in the area! They're unpopular now, but I loved her stories as a kid.

@QuoteJung 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda.
A life changing book.

2: "What a kerfuffle!"

@beatricegroves1 They have my favourite spring scent - a very green, very fresh smell. Reminds me of playing among them in childhood. There are many where I am in Hastings. We used to have a priory here and apparantly alexanders were a food staple for monastics. They taste like celery.

@bo66ie29 I could do something similar with my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather (born 1785) but it wouldn't be as impressive because he was an inmate of the Manchester Workhouse! God bless him...

@bo66ie29 I can verify that this was filmed in my home town of Hastings! In the first shot you can see Hastings Castle on the hill in the background.

@fingerpostblog It's another church. But maybe it was the name of the whole parish in that era.

[Aviva Esther Treger @Aviva321]

@fingerpostblog I'm slightly obsessed with Henry Foster Collins because I was also born in Hastings, near the church where his parents married. It would be great to discover the address where his family were living then. Do the marriage or baptism records show this?

@Knowledgepoint In the 1890s the manager of the Lyceum theatre was the horror writer, Bram Stoker. It's hard to imagine a world without Count Dracula! But this was the place where his story was invented in the mind of a hardworking manager, devoted to his theatre job for 27 years.

@Durotrigesdig @shroplavender @AlisonFisk @ArtasMedialtd @BrightonMuseums The earth used to create the beds of Palmeira Square came from the ancient mound; but if I remember rightly the burial site in situ was a few houses up Palmeira Avenue. So both areas could still have material. Dig them up!

[Aviva Esther Treger @Aviva321]

@Durotrigesdig @AlisonFisk I used to live in Hove: practically no-one knows there used to be a large burial mound where Palmeira Avenue is now, neither do they know about the Bronze age artifacts found. It's lost to local awareness and yet it's by far the most interesting thing about Hove!

@VeraNijveld Happy birthday. My favourite classic used to be 'Wuthering Heights' but now it's 'Frankenstein'; and my favourite contemporary novel (which I wish I'd written) is 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell'. All are endlessly re-readable. Have a lovely day!

@beatricegroves1 @NaturehawkPhoto @miniwildlife It's a rose chafer beetle. Scientific name: cetonia aurata. Love your nature posts, Beatrice! They're a joy to see.

@OptimoPrincipi Definitely know him from somewhere. Maybe college, or work, or a friend of a friend. He looks like so many ordinary blokes - he's a Steve or a Dave from just about any era or place. He's the face that launched a thousand chips.

[Aviva Esther Treger @Aviva321]

@SoVeryBritish Reading classic novels! Definitely showing off. I'm currently reading 'David Copperfield'. Who the hell do I think I am?

[Aviva Esther Treger @Aviva321]

@anitamchandran @tamarindlitmag Me too. Thanks again for everything, Anita.

[Aviva Esther Treger @Aviva321]

Delighted with my author's copy of Tamarind literary magazine. It's a fine new home for my short story and hehe, my name's on the back. As ever - thank you - to anyone who has read or published my fiction. @tamarindlitmag.
