I went of to the pavilion aka spoons for a bit of sketching and reading, just a bit of a break really as there were plenty of other workers at Michael's Bookshop where I work here in Ramsgate.
I took a few photos to show how busy Ramsgate Sands was today, I think the trick here is to get the photo definition low enough not to be able to identify people, which I consider intrusive, but shrp enough to provide a record of how Ramsgate is doing this year tourist wise.
The pictures should expand when clicked on here on the blog. This ability expand pictures to a reasonable size is one of the reasons I still use a Google Blogger hosted blog to write text and put up local photos.
I am interested to know what people think about this approach.
Margate Carnival tomorrow sorry if the gif from 2013 is a bit queasy I am getting better at doing them

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.
