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.
I am sure I still ache from being crew for a boat club race thirty years ago I was completely clueless but did manage to avoid that pole thing that waves around. I can even now after all these years feel those wooden seats bashing my bum. I must say my lasting memory is the sun light on the waves all faceted into zillions of little diamonds of light.
ReplyDeleteDon the youf of today learnt an important lesson, which is don't sit on top of the dagger board when approaching shallow water. it suddenly comes up like a dagger underneath you.
