The end of an era?

Do you recognise this Thanet pub? As you can see things were pretty final there today.

Canterbury today, the main objective was to buy a Moomin calendar for the kitchen, this was the result of an Amazon buying disaster.

Ordered in early Dec, email saying it would be late enc of Dec followed by refund mid Jan. I wanted to go to Jessops and look at the cameras.

 Debenhams has now closed.



A very large part of the colossal overheads related to trading in a town like canterbury is being surrounded by other busy businesses which attract the customers.

goin to be a long way to play with their cameras

Things did improve

We bought some books for Michael's Bookshop where I work in Ramsgate

Hospice Bookshop mostly, but even in Waterstones sale which provided a 2020 Moomin calendar at half price

very late lunch in Waterstones cafe where I did a small amount to my watercolour sketch from there.

went to Third Eye to Velvet Underground T-shirt, but they didn't have any "Yes we have no bananas"
 but we are closing down.

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.
