Ramsgate and Margate Boats in Harbour and a short Ramble from the bookshop

 The first four pictures of Ramsgate harbour and I think they all date from the late 1800s





The next four pictures are of Margate harbour also I think dating from the late 1800s





Next a bit of a ramble from me here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate.

We are in something of a heat wave here in Ramsgate, this makes business in the bookshop somewhat patchy, quiet periods followed by furiously busy periods.

We did price a few books today, here is the link to the pictures of them

Local history books are selling fairly well at the moment, I think this is probably because we have produced several new titles recently rather than any impact caused by the heat wave.

Some pictures of Ramsgate main sands from Wetherspoons 





On the art front I have been trying a few different styles, hopefully I shall become the new Picasso or Salvador Dali.

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.
