Goodbye Mr Simms

Starting with this Cliftonville of what back in the day is a coach and four rigged as a four-in-hand, note the lady driver, can you decode the class distinction in the photo, note the cloth cap in particular and of course the cork helmet. A very English class system.















I believe this is probably The Alma Inn

I have just got back from painting at The Royal Victoria Pavilion aka Wetherspoons Ramsgate
This, I suppose the right word is watercolour painting, is what I am playing at with at the moment. The paper, a full sheet of Bockingford (140lb) Not, it very tough stuff, allowing me to take stuff away as well as add it. Spot the difference.

 It looks like the writing's on the window for the Olde Sweet Shoppe

some other probable issues in Harbour Street
This is the link to the rest of tonight's photos

workwise the link to the pictures of the books we put out today

the bookshop was very busy again today, so not a lot went out. We should catch up during half term, more of us on the ground.

Post a Comment

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.
