Canterbury sketch of La Trappiste from Chocolate, well nothing much.

As you can see from the Canterbury picture I should have started with the paper the other way – portrait instead of landscape – an easy mistake, but then one learns from mistakes.


I also started with pen in the top left corner – should have been paint I think now, wrong shades of green, hand wasn’t in, brain not engaged type of thing, thumb too, one of those days.

Perhaps I will go back and start again with the pad turned round.


As I have already painted this part of the cathedral from upstairs in Chocolate Café, pic above I can probably copy it and fill in this bit at home.


I spent most of the day in Canterbury buying books, this 1865 guide to Folkestone being the star item.


I won’t post up all the books I bought today as they will apper on my bookshop blog http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/ when they get priced and put out in my bookshop here in Ramsgate.

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.
