I am outnumbered by the fairer sex in my family, this means
that leisure will probably include shopping for clothes or shoes or even
handbags, this something I don’t understand and am also allergic to.
When we go outside and the shopping occurs I usually have to
be put into a man crèche or found a secondhand bookshop, as I understand
browsing and my allergy doesn’t present.
Bank Holiday wise we spent Sunday in Canterbury, this is the Lords prayer in English somewhere on the edge of Old English and Middle English so probably 1200s, as you see the past, only some 800 years ago, probably a couple of hundred years after the conquest, indeed another country.
where I bought books and painted dreadful watercolours, then Monday reared it’s head, the requirement being sun, sea, sand and shopping.

I mentioned Margate, apparently there are no shops there
that have any appeal whatsoever to teenage girls – name one?
This may seem strange to some younger readers – but wasn’t
going to spend bank holiday Monday in an out of town shopping centre.
What is required apparently are shops like Pimark, Next,
Peacocks on the one hand and the beach on the other.
Folkestone was decided as the solution, Folkestone had very
similar issues to Ramsgate, around the same size too, perhaps a marginally
larger population, up until fairly recently it was a significant ferry port.
However unlike Ramsgate where the council seem keen on
turning the place into an industrial transport hub, Folkestone is being turned
into an arts and leisure town.
This gadding about is no new thing this poster I came across over the weekend is fro 1923

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.
