Hastings Old Town - Grinders Unite!


Managed to finish work and start a new job within a week and squeezed in three days of moving accumulated items back into the house in Old Town Hastings. Here's a view from the upstairs window looking out across the town. Painting, tiling and tidying up the house after it was rented out for 11 months. A few expected wear and tear scrapes and paint chips etc. The only oddity in the house were a set of basic plates (which I had left in the house) that appeared to have been, for some inexplicable reason, chipped and heavily grinded all around the rims. It looked as though the tenants had occupied their idle hours by fashioning themselves a grinding device in order to give an aged appearance to new objects. I then found a motley collection of ceramic jar lids which had the same worn down heavily nibbled edges. These were left staged on the window ledges as a 'charming' rustic decorative display. However, a productive few minutes with recycling bag put an end to Grinderman's artisan offerings. Thanks but no thanks.
