Here is the Painting of Westwood Cross shopping centre, done
this evening while the ladies in my family shopped.
I guess in times passed they would have spent the evening
dancing around a maypole, and I guess that May Day falling on Freya's day, well
at least The Lady’s day although not Lady Day would have been considered
particularly fecundate.
The business with Sainsbury interested me, £1 for a very
good pot of tea and of course the view across the large and deserted car park,
as a shop assistant I couldn’t help but notice the staff pretty much
outnumbered the customers.
I guess this is more pronounced in the photo than in the pen
and watercolour sketch, of course working in a shop, I don’t get to shops
during what would have been considered normal shopping hours, so don’t really
have the comparisons.
Judging from the cars in the distance WC shopping centre was
much busier, well fortunately I wasn’t 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.
