【明報專訊】One of my best friends moved to the seaside recently to finish a book she's been writing. Hastings, the town that she moved to, is on the coast near Brighton and has all the charm of its bigger neighbour but fewer crowds. I love visiting her there because it's quiet and arty, and has a fantastic cafe culture amongst the classic British seaside staples of fish-and-chip shops and piers. It's also the site of a famous 11th century battle, which is fun for history buffs (迷、愛好者).
