Despite the peculiar Ramsgate climate, although there were times today when it was thunder and rain the sun is now shining, we did manage to get to the lifeboat open day.I took the inevitable pictures and the children had a wonderful time playing with a real lifeboat.
The pictures are at http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop810b/id14.htm they may take a while to appear as my antique laptop is struggling a bit.
Looking at the lifeboat station with my booksellers hat on I noticed one of the books on their bookshelves is “Storm Warriors or the Ramsgate lifeboat at Work on the Goodwin Sands” I publish a cheap reprint of this book and have published a fair chunk of it online, click on the link to read it http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/storm/index.htm
Oh and last years pictures http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/blogpicts4/id16.htm for anyone who wants more.
Good someone publicises Ramsgate events, perhaps you could get a job with the tdc tourism and events department, but on second thoughts i guess sitting on your backside and doing nothing all day wouldn't suit you.
ReplyDeleteI saw no advance publicity for this whatsoever which is a shame as I would have liked to have gone.
