Click to expand some pictures of Ramsgate and Margate

 

Starting with this photo of York Street in Ramsgate back in 1994

I took a couple of pictures of it this afternoon, a quiet one in the bookshop meaning I could fit a short walk in.






Royal School for the Deaf


Like any boy with a toy I am still playing with my new second-hand phone a Samsung galaxy s21 ultra.

I bought it particularly to take pictures to put on this blog. For anyone interesting the pictures will expand if clicked on.

This is Canterbury yesterday where we bought some books.

This is the phone's effort at taking a picture of the moon which I thought was pretty good for a phone picture.
Out and about in Ramsgate today day
So many shop buildings being done up that I thought I'd better record them before they become something else















The last day of trading for The Oak hotel is this Wednesday. It's quite a retro experience that you only have a couple of days left to to enjoy. 

After a very busy Friday and Saturday here at Michael's bookshop where I work in Ramsgate we have had a quiet Monday.


So let me pass on my regards to the people who plough through the new books we have put out every working day and come in and buy them having seen them online.

On the phone front I have several friends who are in their 80s and are now regretting that they didn't learn to use a smartphone properly when they were younger.

A smartphone you can use properly can be very useful if if you're hearing or vision is starting to go or you are having difficulties remembering things.

Post a Comment

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.
