I think all of the pictures in this post will expand if clicked
on in the blog and then the expanded image should expand again when clicked on.
Looking at the back of this postcard, does it date from 1914 and say "No signs of war here."?
It loos to me like a man to man card
this one "Havent forgotten ... so long" was Margate providing a happy oblivion? Is this a woman to woman card?
Oh well one decoding is another encoding, particularly where
local history is concerned. The point wosisname here is to try and learn how to
use the new phone for copying pictures. All I have done is to open an album in
the window and take a few of the pictures in it in natural light.
I am still not sure with my emergency replacement phone whether I have bought betamax, but I think it should have been the one that said "Plus" on the end of the name and not "Play"
but as you can see the the pictures are not coming out too bad, these are all the only and first shots, no deletions and retakes.
an interesting bit of photo colouration here from 1905 resulting in a fairly good depition of a night shot.
On the back and back in 1905, Ern seems to be saying I like
you
these moonlight cards
nothing on the back of this one
nor this one
This is a hand coloured steel engraving from around 1860 I think.
done this one before, from 1906 so the euphemisms are probably lost on us.
Does, “Not seen many Jonnies to suit yet” mean not seen many
fit blokes?
interesting to find this one with tomorrow's date in 1903 on it, there is a sense where the people of 100 years ago were good at saying something when there wasn't really anything to say. I do a lot of this here on the blog and take my word for it. it ain't easy.
Out and about in Ramsgate this afternoon
Camera Canon S3 IS and not the phone
Always different down the seafront
The cafe culture seems reasonably busy considering the new Wetherspoons
about what I would expect for bright weekday afternoon in midwinter
I think there may be a tipping point where we go from the other cafe and bars being quieter than before the new Wetherspoons, to where they are busier than they would have been before it, becase of it.
A bit of an ongoing post this one, so I may have added more if you come back later.
as you see not a huge amount of people wandering about
Wetherspoons looked fairly busy from outside though
We are back to work in the bookshop tomorrow so
here it the link to the books newly in
I am still concerned about falling sand levels which i think may give overtopping issues both for the Pav and the Pleasurama site
Here is the moon over Ramsgate this evening

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.
