| Dear Mr Child, As you may be aware, your local centre Ramsgate, a Wyevale Garden Centre has been sold to British Garden Centres and is expected to be under their ownership by early October. We're pleased to announce that British Garden Centres will continue to trade Ramsgate as a garden centre. You can expect to see their wonderful new ranges here soon... Link to the British Garden Centres Website Nice to be able to post some good news about this one as I think most people had assumed that it would be built on. Bookshop or workwise I have been building more bookcases today.  The general idea is to try to get the till desk area more surrounded by bookcases with less of the computer technology that we have to use to make the books in the bookshop compete price wise with the ones for sale online. Also there is writing this blog and publishing local books, even so the idea is less wires and more books. Another fairly busy day with a fair amount of Thanet local history books in what wen out today Link to the photos of the books On to the old photos of Ramsgate and Margate. I think the one at the top of the post must be not long after WW2 as you can the the pens for the boats associated with HMS Fervent, al least I think that's what I can see in the middle of the photo. |

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.
