Just had a look at the local internet which is a – not much
going on that we can do anything about that I can see, the Hornby Hobbies
visitor centre on the old slipways site has fallen through. I’ve been posting
about this site and various plans to develop it since 2010, see http://thanetonline.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Ramsgate%20slipways%20development?updated-max=2011-03-02T14:34:00Z&max-results=40&start=12&by-date=false
For some reason the result of all of this has been a very
messy building site and nothing else, which is bad for Ramsgate.
POW! Thanet's International Women's Day festival Wed 8 - Sat
11 Mar 2017 brings together fifty events over four days across the three main
towns of Thanet. This year, their theme Movers and Makers has been chosen
especially to tie in with Entangled: Threads & Making which features over
40 international women artists at Turner Contemporary. It’s an impressive
looking program, here is the link https://www.turnercontemporary.org/media/documents/POW-Thanet_2017_Brochure_Final_9-2-17%20f%20LRc.pdf
I am aiming to get back to Turner Contemporary and have
another look at “Entangled: Threads & Making” an exhibition which I am
having difficulty with, as it is all women artists this may be because I’m a
man, so another go at that one.
If anyone knows of a good independently written review of
this exhibition I would be glad if the could post the link in the comments.
Sorry if some of the pictures are same old – same old, it’s
very difficult to remember which ones I have put on here before, putting up
local pictures on the internet most days for the last ten years has produced a
bit of a memory malfunction.
My day off tomorrow as my bookshop in Ramsgate is closed on
Thursdays so although a lot of books have gone out in the shop, best leave it
‘till Friday or Saturday. Here is the link to the pictures of the books http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/

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.
