Ramsgate and Margate back in the day photos, Canterbury by bus








I make no excuses about posting about excursions to Canterbury, nearly every Thanet, Ramsgate, Margate guide book published in the last 200 years includes information about excursions from to Canterbury.

Obviously nearly all of my excursions to Canterbury have to be by car because I usually buy books for the bookshop, living in Ramsgate town centre the bus is the quicker and cheaper option, apart form on Sundays when you have to go via Margate making it much slower.

It takes me about half an hour to drive to Canterbury, and about another half an hour to do the parking and walking to the centre of the town, or I park near the centre and the cost is prohibitive and even then parking takes time. 

The bus from Ramsgate Harbour takes 50 mins and takes you right to the middle where you just get off and don't have to park it.

On arrival My Map
click on it a bit and you may be able to read it, proved to be a bit out of date

I took a few photos here is the link to them 

One of the unusual aspects of the bus is the diversion
'scuse dreadful fone fotos
yep all the way
I am building up to another series of watercolour sketches inside Canterbury Cathedral, anyone not following this here is a link to some photos of previous activity on that front.

If you looked at the pictures via the link you will see there was an eventual improvement but note the epic spelling mistake.

On the work front today I wasn't there apparently the bookshop was busy, I am still putting this partly down to screen use and the steady drip of vaguely worrying information, cognitive ability, memory and eyesight

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.
