Some more old Thanet postcards with the writing on the back, superslow broadband, a Canterbury watercolour

 In this post the back comes before the front





















The watercolour painting another one from Chocolate Café in Canterbury painted this afternoon, this is generally where I wind up on Saturdays having finished my travels buying books for my bookshop. 

I think the perspective is getting better looking at the photo I took after sketching it in with a brush. I find that drawing the picture with a brush is easiest, probably because unlike a felt tip or a pencil the brush always stays the same.



The main reason for this is that Canterbury is usually fairly close to whichever Kent towns I have visited and has the cheapest parking within a short walk of the town centre of all the Kent towns at 80p for 5 hours.


We have just had to get superfast broadband – meaning that our broadband connection has gone back to normal

  
Here are the books that went out in my bookshop today http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/shipwrecks-in-bookshop.html

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.
