If you want to paint a picture from life in reasonable
comfort during the winter then your options are fairly limited. One of them is
to find a window seat in a bar or café, this is much more difficult than you
would expect. In the winter in Ramsgate Wetherspoon’s in Ramsgate does have
some tables at windows that have a view of Ramsgate and this morning I managed
to nab one.
This was a balcony seat, the picture above shows the balcony in 1903
this one shows the balcony now with an arrow pointing to the window I was paining through taken today.
this is a picture of the same window that I took in 2010
So here are some pictures of postcards of the pavilion that I just happen to have lying around
Back to the watercolour wosisname
as you may be able to see it didn't go very well

With the starfish on the beaches, I hear you
asking is it sea star associated densovirus or is it weather related?

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.
