Being neither a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man, having dfl’d
in around 1965 I didn’t recognise these implements and thought they had
something to do with wading after shellfish. As it is, I now know, having read
the card, that this is your basic hop picking kit.
Time to rabbit on about something or another, is it? Suppose
you all know the joke about the afterlife, Ethel want’s to know how her Ernie
is getting on, on the other side. At the séance, “knock knock – is there
anybody there?” “Ernie here, is that you Ethel.” “Yes dear, at a séance, what’s
it like, are you in paradise dear?” “well not exactly, it’s very green here and
there’s lots of sex.” “What on earth do you mean Ernie, the vicar hasn’t said
anything about that?” “I have been reincarnated as a rabbit!”
Canterbury today, would these be indigenous Canterbury rabbits,
escaped pets, decedents of escaped pets? Have you checked you hutch recently? These
two both gone riverside, today in Canterbury.
Old Thanet photos which will probably expand if clicked on with
enthusiasm.
August in 1905, the message which seems to be bilious may have lost some of its meaning down theyears.
I did a bit more painting in Canterbury Cathedral
tried some panorama photos
from where I was sittin, as you see a bit of a hot seat.

Post a Comment
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.
