Ah, you've picked the perfect location. Not too close to town, but not too far from St Helen's woods or the park. My primary school (Elphinstone) was just round the corner from Ore station. What's the literary scene like these days? Is it still thriving? When I was there it was chock full of poets.

Such a shame about the timing, but huge congratulations on both of those things! I grew up in Hastings in the 1990s and miss it terribly because it's wonderful. I'm envious of your move, but shall salve my envy with the enjoyment of going out and looking for your novel. Good luck with the move 🤞🏻
