Phase one in which Boris got our votes, some reflections on the brexit results and a bit of watercolour paining in Ramsgate, Thanet Argus for 1909 adverts

I am suffering the stun of the outvoted today as I voted to stay in and as the public have spoken, out we come. I suppose my first thoughts are how to make the best of it, personally, for my business and how as a country we make the best of it.

At the moment I am wondering if this means Boris for prime minister and even Boris Island in more than one sense of the phrase. Always look on the bright side of life, comes to mind.

I didn’t get much painting done at breakfast or lunch today


A bit more on the watercolour of the inside of The Belgian Café here in Ramsgate over breakfast




A bit more of the watercolour from outside Enoteca or is it Οινοθήκη Café here in Ramsgate over lunch.


Painting in the people is the new and therefore tricky one for me with these local pictures,  

As there is a Thanet Argus for 1909 on my desk at the moment here are the adverts

    The Windmill advert is very fitting. Support home industries and encourage British labour.

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.
