I think the vessel giving off smoke in the middle is
probably the tug Aid and the one on the left most likely a collier as in the
days of steam and coal fires the coal was probably Ramsgate’s main incoming
cargo.
We went to Hythe today, this was mostly buying books for the
bookshop, lunch in Follies,
very good pizza, lunchtime so we didn’t want a large meal and shared one between the two of us. The leisure was a walk to the seafront and back.

Hythe is a busy and attractive coastal town as you can see
from the pictures, well at least the ones that are in focus, here are the links
to today’s snapshots of Hythe
Parking prices are a big factor when visiting a town, buying books I need a cheap car park that is close to the town centre.
£2 for all day is very slightly cheaper thtan the one I usually use in Canterbury, and it is closer to the middle of the town as you can see from the map
I have ringed the High Street and car park in red.
A couple of pictures that probably tell a story from the Hythe strips on the camera card
Plenty of local history and more what I am coming to think of as retro reading, I shouldn't say when you have had enough of the hundredth american cereal killer as it only drives people cornflakes.
I think this may be a racist thing, reading the quintessentially British, that is, actually after Trainspotting perhaps even English.
Looking at this I think I read more books by white Englishmen who are older than me than any other group.
I have just had a look at the bookshop blog post and as far as I can see the majority of the books that went out fall into this category

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.
