Just a Walk in the Park


A few pictures here from yesterday’s walk in King George VI Park Ramsgate, nothing very exciting, this park was once the gardens for Eastcliff Lodge, pictured in the painting by Turner above.

As the home of Moses Montefiore I would guess that it had potential as a heritage site, but of course it was long ago knocked down by the council, the coach house, gatehouse and Italianate greenhouse are still there.    

Here is the link to the pictures http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/212/id10.htm     


Still loosely on the subject of Turner the Turner Contemporary has put a camera on the gallery roof to record the skies over Margate below the two videos they have made.

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.
