We all like a local green grocers. We like to shop local if we can. Well now you can because Kings Road has its own fruit and veg store. Its called 4 seasons. The sign’s a temporary one until the council sort out the facade, but I kind of like it – its very St Leonards if you know what I mean Remember folks, buy local. I must insist!

Firstly let me wish all my good readers a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Kings Road Stationers, the longest serving shop on Kings Road (over 100 years), has closed. So I guess this marks something of a new chapter in the history of the road. The good news, in my opinion, is that an art gallery will be replacing it. Which is all good because art = regeneration (think Hackney). And that is what St Leonards is all about – art and individuality. Indeed there are four or five art galleries on the road now. So here’s to another step up in the regeneration of Kings Road. Onwards and upwards I say!

PS Love the old sign – thought it might be one of Robert Tressell’s?

Yes folks its that time of year again. 17th July sees the return of the annual St Leonards Festival. Expect the usual fantastic array of stalls and live music in and around Warrior Square. This also happens to be the day the olympic torch comes to town, assuming it hasn’t already been flogged on eBay! Click the link for more info  http://gcsl.org.uk/index.php/st-leonards-festival
