The watercolour painting of Margate Lighthouse from Turner Contemporary Gallery Café gets a bit more paint, and my day off from my bookshop, a joke of English bookselling and the horror of English Breakfast Tea.
After which I bought some books.

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.
Looks like your day was poetry in motion. I don't get to the Turner as often as I would like but seeing the ploughmans I will make an extra effort. We were with our children last night and they were talking about the Belgian Bar, I think they planned to eat there today I must say they spoke highly of it.
ReplyDeleteHaving just looked through the pictures on the link above I must pay you a visit soon and browse your bookshelves.
Don so far the Turner Cafe has been unpredictable, both quality and quantity wise, yesterday was one of my best experiences there, I visit it often as it has one of the few all weather paintable views in Thanet.
ReplyDeleteThe ploughman's is £8.95, so fairly pricey, but it has the advantage that you can paint while eating it.
From your point of view the disabled access, cafe, gallery and loo is very good.
The Belgian is in a different league altogether, we use it a lot as the food is very good value and the quality usually very good, from your point of view the disabled access and loo there is reasonably good and I don't think you would have any issues.
We look forward to seeing you in the bookshop again, dont forger we close on Thursdays
Great work! You know I do like this kind of talent, but unfortunately don't know where to start. Lol :D
ReplyDeletePrincess I started painting from cafes about four years ago and the paintings were dreadful, I don't think it has much to do with talent, just keeping at it while my children eat up go to the loo etc.
ReplyDeleteI will come and see you again when it warms up I love your shop
