Old photos of Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate, watercolour sketch in Canterbury


Pictures will expand if you click on them a few times









I know I ought to take more trouble when copying them, but a very short time to write the blog between getting back from Canterbury and cooking curry

The watercolour sketch in Chocolate Cafe Canterbury next

it's a bit difficult to know how to approach sketching the inside of a crowded cafe


A long learning curve with some bad body proportions in this one 


However I think that if I eat enough chocolate muffins I will eventually master this.

Next comes the link to the books that went out in the bookshop in Ramsgate on Saturday http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/summer-lighting-in-bookshop.html which I suppose can be viewed as either rather dubious adverting or useful information. I suppose this all depends on how you view advertising and in this case PG Wodehouse, the Rolling Stones, or for that matter Knobsticks.

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.
