A quick watercolour sketch of Ramsgate lift from the Pavilion, photo of a couple of fishing smacks on the crosswall and out and about photos

I skived off late this afternoon to the Pav for a bit of sketching

Here is a photo for any aspiring art critics, at the moment having somewhere with the sun mostly behind me and a reasonably comfortable chair within a short walk from the bookshop is a temptation I can't resist. Come the winter I don't think there is anywhere really practicable, so less sketching.

I would guess this picture of Ramsgate fishing smacks tied up at the crosswall dates from around 1900.

The post Pav perambulation was fairly brief


 as you see the light was going





  Worth it however to see this James Handyvan that dates from around 1930

Work wise this is the link to the books that went out in the bookshop today

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
