Well the Defence of the Nation Museum is moving from
Ramsgate Tunnels to the Monkey House, if you understood that then you qualify
for reading the rest of the post.
Thanet, Canterbury and Dover council seem to be moving
towards joining together to form one big council, having been to two local
seaside towns recently, Deal run by Dover council and Herne Bay run by
Canterbury council I suppose there is some chance that Ramsgate may be better
off if this happens. My feelings here being along the lines of I believe what
they say less than what they have done.
Dover have got the government funding £200m to do up Dover
Docks which could be a bit of a blow to commercial dock activity at The Port of
Ramsgate.
Next the Ramsgate Harbour pictures which show the running of
one of the sluices, which is the way the mud used to be cleared from the outer
harbour, the damage caused by doing this and the way repairs were carried out
around 100 years ago.
On to Margate
This should be an animation of the sun setting over Margate I took the photos from Turner Contemporary today and then realised that it does't look particularly like Margate
this lead me to try and sketch just a minimum to show the sketch was in Margateand then flip through my sketchbook for the last few weeks ans see which ones were identifiably Margate

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.
