    Patsy and Mike talk about what's going on in our curious town of Hastings & St Leonards. Filming and editing by Rakesh Solanki

    Nestled in our beloved Tonka on the seafront we were treated to a delicious breakfast by our very generous host, Kim Duke. Mary Valentine brought delicious smells, Rosa Amor enthused us all with Hastings International Piano Competition and Sophie Malpas’ playful paint splattered wellies made us smile. Mike sang and co-hosted like a boss.

    A huge thank you to Kimberely Duke for hosting us at Tonka.
