I would say the carnival photos speak for themselves, but
who knows any comments would certainly be interesting. Is the date right?
Do you ever get that feeling that reality may be bunging up
too many coincidences? I bough various books charts and maps in the bookshop
today, but with the usual suspects among world leaders hovering their fingers
over big red buttons, the Doodle Bug Map of Kent and the book showing various early
rockets and the individuals keen to twiddle knobs, it was a bit of strange day.
Oh well it never rains but it pours, so I don’t suppose there
will be out and about photos for today, so here are some Margate photos for
five years ago http://michaelsbookshop.com/laptop912/id5.htm
and some Ramsgate ones http://michaelsbookshop.com/laptop912/id6.htm
Hi Micheal, I stumbled across your blog whilst searching for "Ramsgate 1984" in google and came across your pictures of what looks like pictures of the yearly August carnival, in this instance August 1984. I bit of background on me, My mother originally grew up in Ramsgate, but moved away to Norfolk in the early 70's. She returned with her family (me sis and my dad) to see her mum each summer thereafter from 74 onwards till her mums death in late Sep 84). I always fondly remember our summer holidays there. What also struck a chord with me whilst looking at your pictures, was the BT submarine vehicle, which I remember seeing at the time and I also recall an Orange shaped car (Yes round car! in orange !) Once again thanks for publishing these pictures on the net. Brought back a few fond memories! Andrew
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them Andrew, I am sorry that I don't know anything about the photos, but I think I remember that float
