A few Ramsgate photos from the last few days and some sort of ramble

 Only in Thanet could you have a tourist information map that doesn't show the town's tourist information office but shows one in a different Thanet town, i guess it's a good thing we don't get much in the way of tourists

 Not much movement on the Pleasurama site although some rumours that Cardy Construction are going to pay some of the repairs to the cliff facade.

 I find it strange the castellated building that houses Pete’s Fish Factory and the Belgian Café and appears on the 1822 map isn’t listed, anyway it has now sprouted an extra floor by enlarging the roof.

 There is a fairly large dredger on the slipway but no sign of the new development there.

 No sign of any activity on the Pavillion yet either.

The amount of sand at high tide on Ramsgate main sands is becoming very depleted

 No sign of any historic vessels on the historic boat pontoon either

 This is the view from the cafe in the new Sainsbury

 Salad, pot of tea and mince pie, good quality, just as if you had bought the ingredients from the supermarket, cost just over £5

a first attempt at sketching from here didn't work out too well, cars and large modern buildings fairly far away, something which may improve with practice.

And here is a bizarre one, the facebook page for the Manston Airport Independence Party. Shades of Python and Woodehouse https://www.facebook.com/manstonindependentparty?fref=nf

Anyway the screenshot gives you some idea; “An open letter to Leader Iris Johnston and the Cabinet. Ridiculous demands have being made by RiverOak” I think they are supposed to be on the same side as the American property hedgefund RiverOak but what they say seems to have got a bit muddled.

All I can say is vote MAIP
