Recognise the big big D and after 1964 from the reg
You would need a special hat to drive something like that
Apologies I have just realised one of the pictures I was looking at while doing some research into a plane shot down over Margate during the war got included in this post in error. I removed it as it is copyright.
With the aid of a special hat
building a speedboat in an an upstairs bedroom
only really means removing the wall at some point
The importance of special hats when driving at speed can't be over emphasised
I should stress here that I am not a Margate historian so having looked at the photos I made the text up.
Mind you the geographically disadvantaged text writer in Ramsgate gave me a bit of confidence
X of course marks the spot, which is probably where we stayed
Note Wellington Crescent during its red period
This is back when Ramsgate had beach huts

Sketching from a different position over brunch at the Pav aka Spoons today
Really tucked in the corner today, this was due to the noise coming from the slipways and my tinnitus which I didn't want set off.
I think back in the day, before colour photography i guess, when people would sit down and sketch with watercolour, there just weren't so many vehicles in the way, so views from first floor level didn't happen much. You can see from the photo that it is difficult to give this sense of looking down.
It's looking as though it's going to another week before the bridge goes in on the crosswall

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.
