Richborough Power Station demolition watercolour sketch


I thought I had better record the event as best as I could in my sketchbook, I don’t know about other people, but for me there was a sense of unreality about this thirty second event. Almost as though it wasn’t something that was really happening anyway I don’t really have the right words, so here is the picture.

  2. Almost shed a small tear as they went down, a strange atmosphere as we walked back to Richborough Fort, almost going home from a funeral !!

  3. Peter I am not so much considering quitting, as doing something with a wider interest than just Thanet, probably more related to sketching than writing as I enjoy it more. Watercolour is something of a challenge, which I think will amuse me for some time.

    Bit of an odd one 10.05, it was so much representative of what the place looks like.

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.
