| Ramsgate Sands Station 1920s or 30s |
The S R Port on the side of the horse drawn wagon was a builders merchant and builder in Ramsgate High Street.
This is an unedited photo of Margate Sands taken with my mobile phone and I think sums up my reason for going there.
But I did do a quick sketch from Turner Contemporary Cafe, sitting in the sunshine, which if anything was too hot.
The photo just fell out of a secondhand book I was pricing here, where I work at Michaels Bookshop here in Ramsgate. Apart from being closed on Sundays the bookshop is closed on weekdays beginning with T, so yesterday afternoon we headed off to Margate for the sunset.
I didn't go to the exhibition at Turner Contemporary as I have seen it before.
We did of course buy quite a lot of books in Margate mostly from The Old Bank Bookshop these should appear in our new acquisitions

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.
