The Buckle Seaford

07/03/2022

As the flurry of noticeboard posts start again about how nice it would be to keep the recently exposed sandy beach at Seaford instead of it being covered up by those pesky trucks. Here is a link as to why the flood defence is so important. Imagine how worse the recent storms would have been without it

You may have concluded that Julie has been using her time away from B&B duties to increase her chocolate consumption (no comment). However she has in fact been training to run her very first half marathon (and last apparently) in Brighton this Sunday. She is also raising money for the fantastic local charity WOLO Foundation if anybody would like to give her a little extra support. Good luck Julie ❤

During our time living at The Buckle we have had to bat off some regular rumours such as: Fat Boy Slim used to live here (he didn't), he used the house as his recording studio (nope), the annex at the front is an indoor swimming pool (this would be a surprise to my mum and sis in laws who live there) and that we won the lottery and are millionaires (no and no - unfortunately). However we can share some factual information that not many people may know about. Just over 23 years ago the film I Want You was released, and although most of the movie was filmed in Hastings, The Buckle was used for one of the main characters home: Helen played by Rachel Weisz (of many a good film and married to Daniel Craig). Bit of a raunchy number if you can track it down for an online purchase 😇

I Want You: Directed by Michael Winterbottom. With Rachel Weisz, Alessandro Nivola, Luka Petrusic, Labina Mitevska. A young boy and his sister are drawn into one man's obsessive pursuit of his former lover.

Blast from the past. Six years ago today. New roof on the turret was almost finished

Since we became the proud owners of The Buckle in March 2015 it has been “all systems go”. What an absolute blast and a journey so far. We have had such lovely guests and many that we now consider good friends. However it goes without saying that the situation over the last 18 months has made life difficult for everyone and for personal reasons we have taken the decision to take some time out which will allow us to reconnect with friends and family. Therefore we are now closed until 2023. We will continue to be online, post updates and support local businesses. It seems to be a bit of a weird world out there at the moment so best wishes to everyone and stay safe. Jason and Julie
