A few pictures of Ramsgate and Canterbury and a mild ramble
It’s my day off today and I have been to Canterbury bought a few books, taken a few pictures nothing much I think, the pictures are being published to the internet as I type this, so I won’t see them until they are there as I am using my notebook and the screen is far to small either to edit or sift out the bad ones, so apologies if some are dreadful.
The first page are Ramsgate last couple of days, I indulged myself in bacon egg chips and a cup of tea at the Lookout Café, hence the picture if you were wondering, as always excellent value.
I may add a bit more about the pictures when I have seen them,
Here are the links to the pages of pictures

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.
Some good pictures, but the port looks very derilict and run down.
ReplyDeletePresumably the plan is to continue to allow the port to become run down until it reaches a point when the elf and safety people say it is dangerous, after which the council will block up the tunnel and divert the money to Margate.
ReplyDeleteWhilst on the subject of the port. We are told that Vattenfells are basing their operation in Ramsgate. Well we'd better hurry up and make sure that the port is suitable for their ships - one of their supply craft was in Dover last week taking on stores and fuel. Why? Because Ramsgate has become too shallow. You couldn't make it up.
ahh thats what they mean by regeneration in east kent, silt up the port and more work for dover
