Apologies first the whole contents of my camera card, I
don’t use a flash when I visit historic buildings, so these are all hand held
pictures, in many cases it was too dark for the camera’s sensors so many are
also manually focused, hence several blurry ones.
I haven’t put more than 100 pictures on a page so they
should load reasonably quickly, we started at the café by Westcliff boating
pool, less then £20 for food and drink for me my wife and two of my children,
there is also a free playground.
This the playground that is, enabled me to sketch the view
from where I sat to eat my lunch and even get a little bit of it painted.
A bit of a walk along the cliff while my children cycled about,
here are the pictures relating to that http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop412b/index.htm
and on to Pugin’s Grange, the pictures of the inside start about half way down

Then on to Pugin’s church now to be a shrine, always
inclined to give a church a bit of a boost, pictures here http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop412b/id7.htm
I was in the professional god bothering business once so I only really understand the rules for Anglican contemplative religiouss’, there is a sense in which they don’t really have an individual identity, if you look at this last lot some were taken in St Augustine’s graveyard, the ones for the monks start DOM, when they have filled up one grave with DOM and one stone with what their bodies were once called, they start on another one.

Some questions for the observant next.
The house is gothic revival, what are the marble pillars and mantle doing there.

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.
