So is there anything you want to do before you die? Canterbury and Thanet pictures

More Canterbury first, there will be some old Thanet pictures eventually in this post.

The hospice backboard made me stop and think.

 It's a big question.

Another lot of Canterbury photos

this is the link

We were mostly musical instrument shopping, which is always a bit difficult.

On the do before I die front, I think the move from being a mechanic of sorts to selling books was a good one. Maybe a bit more painting, but it's getting the time.

Of course, you had better be careful of what you wish for - three wishes:- 1 I want... 2 I want... 3 is invariably undoing the first 2.

Oh well a brand new YouTube won't let me embed the song More Time so

The bookshop next, we sold a lot of local history books, so they are in the books that went out yesterday

Back to Canterbury with then and now photos

This is then with the arrow pointing to a bit of cathedral

and this is now with all of the new old buildings, the photo is taken from pretty much the same place with the arrow pointing to the same bit of cathedral.

Much as I am all for replacing buildings with ones that fit in with the surrounding architecture, I think there may be a case for putting labels on fake old buildings. Perhaps a brown plaque scheme or something.

Finally some old local pictures, WW1 Margate raids and Nelson Crescent in Ramsgate around 1910

I think this one is late 40s or early 50s on a second look
