On to the old pictures of Margate and Ramsgate

Hair at Michael's bookshop in Ramsgate we sell about 100 books a day and so on the days that we are closed we spend a lot of the time out around the local area buying secondhand books for the bookshop.

Thursday was Canterbury Oxfam bookshop etc, 

Interesting to see how much damage the rising bollards can do to a car personally I never go near them

Lunch at Electo Chocolate Cafe two hot sandwiches and pot of Yorkshire tea all very high quality £15.85

I'm still reading my way through the works of Haruki Murakami

So this time a watercolour of Haruki Murakami I'm pretty sure I've managed to get a Japanese man but not so certain that it actually looks like Murakami.

We went to Sandwich yesterday the town of sandwich is something along the lines of medieval 1970s

Cheese and ham toasted sandwich chocolate muffin pot of tea for two £13.30 good quality and reasonable price

My my previous post linked to about five hundred and fifty photographs of this year's Ramsgate carnival this proved very popular so here is a link to it in case you missed it
