I would say this picture of the Ramsgate fishermen with
their catch probably dates from about 1900, after 1893 anyway as you can see
the top of the Custom House which was built then.
The original photo is in a pretty bad way and very small so
I nearly didn’t recognise it, from the way its blown up I think it must have
been a contact print.
I did manage to get to Wetherspoons at the end of the
working day and there was about half an hour before the light became too
difficult for me to paint.
I think a bit more of this and I will try one on better
paper, as you can see from the photo some of the proportions are no quite
right.
Over the last 30 years or so I have occasionally borrowed
money from the bank and I had a sneaky feeling that on some occasions the bank
had miss-sold me things that I only bought to get the loan. I think it was
probably all the spam emails and phone calls that eventually lead me to look
into this. Anyway current legislation means that banks have to have their own
department to sort this out, so I went on to my own banks website filled in the
online form and they have started giving me back the money that they shouldn’t
have taken.
Turner Contemporary have announced the appointment of eight
new trustees today, here is the link to all of their trustees biogs and photos https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0erQxRYd9_rS3JSczRCVkhyUFk/view?usp=sharing

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.
