I grew up here so it wasn’t entirely unknown but a lot has changed and it turns out meeting people and making friends is a slow process in your 30s/40s. Took us around a year (a brilliant year tbf) to get really settled but 100% worth it.
I hope things calm down and open up COVID wise if you are here for the summer.

I have a few connections down there already friends of friends etc which should help, my Wife doesn't but she's massively community minded so if she throws herself into that I'm sure she will meet like minded people.
We are aiming to get down asap, but now we are under offer need to find a house so it might take some time yet. We keep having slight jitters as we've both been in London for more than half of our lives now, but I know we can make it work in Hastings and be very happy there.

Ah nice one, we've been kicking it down the road a bit for a few years tbh, but it became increasingly obvious it's where we want to be and we should just go for it.
I love the place, and it's reassuring to hear you've settled there after the move.
