I hope that the cruise wasn’t somewhere exotic so you didn’t miss out on much. Maybe it wasn’t kids friendly, so that’s why she didn’t invite you.
Maggie’s is exactly there yes where the miniature train depot is just before the big car park. It sounds like a great photo. It will be fun to go back and ride on one of the trains again. This time you will even need to purchase four tickets 🙂 The train literally takes you right by Maggie’s. Last year we stayed in one of the traditional fisherman’s cottages opposite by the steps taking you up to East Hill and Hastings Country Park. Some mornings I was on my up at dawn with the camera of course to photo birds and especially rabbits. On my way back fresh fish was being delivered straight to Maggie’s. We had our gala dinner for that week’s holiday at the White's Seafood & Steak Bar. I remember we were stocked by the appetite a Portuguese couple had. They started with a dozen of oysters, followed by a steak each, several sides, a lobster to share and then a crumble each 😱
Wow! That's some expensive tastes that they have.
That's a nice suggestion for us to go back - next summer of course when it's nice and toasty. We went with our in-laws so we should definitely do that... and try to pop into Maggie's for some tasty fish and chips.
Is East Hill and the Country ParK the side that also has the cable car? I remember there are 2 cables cars, I think we went up 1 which was fairly central (and had a drink in the cafe at the bottom). I really wish that I had a good memory! Perhaps I should take more photos to remind me 😂

Yes, exactly, East Hill is where the other cable car is. I have seen the coffee shop at the bottom of West Hill but I haven't taken the cable car up. I was doing our groceries at the big Morrisons nearby so I walked past West Hill a few times and it was always quite lively. East Hill is the very opposite. Last year the cable car wasn't even running at all. It did the year before though but there were just a few people taking it. Maybe this lift is less busy as the people keen on walks up there in the country park don't mind the steps all the way up. The view is worth it though, there are a few benches and some take even a picnic up and enjoy the sunset. Photos are a great reminder of what we did and when, they even show the exact location. I sometimes even photo timetables and price lists which come in handy sooner or later.

True - if you're interested in a long walk, a few steps aren't going to put anybody off!
It sounds like you've been there a few times which isn't that surprising really. It's a very easy journey from London 🙂
