Some old Thanet pictures and a few guess the date recent Ramsgate ones


















My day off today as the bookshop is closed, went the new Alice and the Hatter café in Herne Bay, 


no dormouse in the pot and a good drop of builder’s tea, cake, scone, recommended if you are in the middle of Herne Bay shopping.



Tried to paint Bell Harry from the cloisters for a bit but defaulted to Chocolate Café all in all a pleasant day.



Back to work tomorrow, Friday so that will probably be lots of local history, along the lines of when was my house built, where did granny live, who lived in my house in 1920.

Another reminder that we have put our Bygone Kent Magazine back issues on a series of webpages, here is the link http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/bygonekent/ haven’t done the more recent ones yet but will get a round toit.


The Ramsgate Society is moving into the bit of the custom house where Nice Things, that have moved into Harbour Street where The Ramsgate Society were.

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.
