Deal and Dover today, starting with a pot
of tea and a cheese ant tomato sarni in the King’s Coffee Shop rounded off with
a lump of chocolate cake.
Then on to the main reason for us going there today,
the guitar shop – Mark 1 Music on our quest for a narrow neck nylon string
acoustic guitar. This is a much more difficult quest than it sounds. Sexist actually
I think as women tend to have small hands and play nylon strung guitars.
On to Oxfam Bookshop where we got some Sven
Hassel books which we are usually short of.
On to Dover, partly to have a look at the
new shopping centre, partly to take some pictures of the Dover architecture
which is just amazing and partly to buy a secondhand swivel chair.
Finally this evening a short walk in the
dark with the intention of trying to work our how well the Nikon P610 performs
against my dslr in the dark and with hand held shots.
Links next
Link 1 the books we put out in the bookshop yesterday
Link 2 is some general shots around Deal including various attempts to capture Ramsgate behind Deal pier
Link 3 is Mark 1 Music, only one Taylor Guitar, which is one of the makes we are considering and this was a 12 string steel strung, not the 6 string nylon we are looking for, so the quest goes on. That said a nice music shop and well worth a visit, friendly and helpful staff.
Link 4 - Dont Walk - Walk - Gallery, a very good sign was the gallery attendant telling the customer to bring his bicycle in to the gallery, this is what I tell people in my role as shop assistant in the bookshop to do. You can't enjoy looking at pictures or browsing books if you are worried something nasty is going to happen to you bicycle...
Once again another reason to visit Deal
Link 5 a few more shots around Deal
On to Dover
Link 6 and Link 7 Just snaps around Dover
Link 8 is the night shots taken with the Nikon P610
Link 9 and Link 10 are the wide angle shots I took the other night with a DSLR (don't ask about the lens) the other night for, well not exactly comparison.

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.
