Sunday Ramble

the chill wind meant that today was pretty much canceled due to lack of interest. shopping had to be done and the fairer sex in my family did the Sainsbury mission while i sat in the cafe and sketched.
As you see I didn't get very far, mainly because I had a salad and pot of tea to consume as well. For any art critics here is a close up which you can click on and make much bigger than the original.
 Demolition of the old Sainsbury supermarket was well underway, sorry it's all a bit in the distance I have ordered a clip on telephoto for my phone from China.
Well click on it compulsively and you may be able to see the remains.

Tomorrow Manston comes up at parliament and I think some sort of mass demonstration is planned by the save the airport supporters.

I may ramble on here

  1. Mass demonstration in London? They struggle to get a more than few dozen in Margate !

  2. Whilst we are on the subject of car fumed windswept landscapes; does anyone know why approximately 40 metres of mature hedges have been removed from the public garden opposite the Granville Hotel flats on the Ramsgate Eastcliff Seafront?

  3. 6.48

    It's easier for a lot of Manston supporters to get to London, most of them live a long way from Thanet.

  5. thanks for approving the above comment Michael, but I have decided to do a post about it on my blog. This still does not prevent any of your readers trying to answer the question posed if they can?

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.
