Some Ramsgate fishing notes from about 1890
Link to the photos of the books we put out yesterday
The bookshop is fairly busy at the moment and it was good to have a break today. |I though we were very lucky to get one of the rain free days off.
I had hoped to get some time to paint in Canterbury but no such luck, very few photos
here is the link
I do aim to try and take a day off painting soon. It's very much a case of the busier the bookshop the less time I get for other stuff which got a bit packed in today.
I guess history is the main component in non fiction books and there is so little information from around 1,000 years ago, there is a sense of the Bayeux Tapestry being accessible because of the universal nature of pictorial expression.
I wonder though looking at the pictures I make and the historic ones I put on the blog, which bits would have any meaning in 1,000 years time.

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.
